DIFFA 40th Anniversary Award Trophy

The DIFFA award's sharp edges symbolize diverse major societal challenges such as HIV/AIDS, homelessness, food scarcity, and mental health issues, increased by insufficient government funding—a core focus of DIFFA's mission. The solidity represents solidarity.

The weight and volume represent grace. Like the various surfaces merging into one, DIFFA strives to unify solutions.
