Amy Turner receives 2025 ENPY Partnership Builder Award

The Sally J. Pimentel Deaf & Hard of Hearing Center (DHHC) announces Executive Director Amy Turner was honored with the 2025 ENPY Partnership Builder Award from The Community Foundation. She was recognized recently during the annual ENPY Awards celebration held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Fort Myers at Bell Tower Shops in Fort Myers.

The ENPY Awards—short for Excellence in Nonprofit Performance Year-Round—recognize outstanding nonprofit organizations and professionals across Southwest Florida whose work reflects sustained leadership, measurable results, and a commitment to strengthening the communities they serve.

Presented annually by The Community Foundation, the awards highlight those who elevate nonprofit performance beyond daily operations and contribute to a nonprofit community that strengthens quality of life and expands access to essential services across Southwest Florida.

The Partnership Builder Award honors a leader who brings organizations together to create stronger solutions and expand impact across Southwest Florida.

In addition to the recognition, the award included a $5,000 unrestricted grant in support of DHHC’s mission. Flexible funding of this kind allows the organization to respond quickly and strategically to evolving needs within the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.

“Unrestricted support allows us to strengthen the services people rely on every day,” Turner said. “It helps ensure access to interpreting services, Independent Living Skills classes, youth programs, advocacy, and outreach that reduces isolation. This award is truly to be shared — it reflects the dedication of our staff, board, and community partners who are committed to strengthening communication access throughout Southwest Florida.”
