Project 10:27, an organization dedicated to combating loneliness and isolation among senior adults, has been honored with the 2024 Community Choice Award by the Baptist Health Foundation of San Antonio (BHFSA).

This distinguished award is granted to nonprofit organizations that go above and beyond in their commitment to serving the community—an honor made even more meaningful as it is peer-nominated by fellow nonprofit leaders.

In addition to receiving a Community Impact Grant, Project 10:27 was recognized with a surprise $10,000 award at BHFSA’s annual reception, a gathering celebrating the 109 nonprofit organizations awarded a collective $9.4 million in grants this year. The Community Choice Award, one of only two given, underscores the exceptional impact of Project 10:27’s mission to bring companionship, connection, and hope to senior adults in Bexar and surrounding counties.

“We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from Baptist Health Foundation of San Antonio and our nonprofit peers,” said Shane Carter, Executive Director of Project 10:27. “This award is more than just an honor—it is a celebration of the collective effort of our team and community. It reaffirms our mission to bring companionship, hope, and connection to seniors and motivates us to expand our impact even further.”

The BHFSA Community Choice Award is a unique distinction, as recipients are nominated and selected by fellow nonprofit organizations in recognition of outstanding service and selfless dedication to others.

“BHFSA understands that small, localized organizations like Project 10:27 are just as capable of meaningful, life-changing work as their larger counterparts, and we are excited to invest in their continued success. We’re glad to see other organizations in the community recognizing how well Project 10:27 is meeting their mission,” said Brent Salter VP of Programs of BHFSA.

Since its formation in 2004, Baptist Health Foundation of San Antonio has awarded over $100 million in grants to fund nonprofit healthcare initiatives across Bexar County and seven surrounding counties, furthering its mission to honor God by improving the health of the community.
