Pray.com has been named to the Inc. 2022 Best in Business list in the General Excellence category. This award honors companies that have made an extraordinary impact in their fields and society. Pray.com is the first religious media company to be recognized for this award.
The list, which can be found in the Winter issue of Inc. magazine (on newsstands December 13), recognizes the most dynamic companies of all sizes and industries that have had an outstanding influence on their communities or their industries.
Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., says, "Inc. magazine is dedicated to showcasing America's most dynamic businesses and the great things they do. The Best in Business Awards shine a light on those that have gone above and beyond their original mission to make a social, environmental or economic impact, benefiting those around them."
Rather than relying on quantitative criteria tied to sales or funding, Inc.'s editors reviewed the companies' achievements over the past year and noted how they made a positive difference in the world. They then selected honorees in 55 categories - from advertising to sustainability to retail, and more - and in age-based, revenue-based, size-based, and impact-based categories. The applicant pool was extremely competitive - a huge success for the 241 honored in the list's third year. Honorees for general excellence across various industries and categories are featured online at inc.com/best-in-business.
"We are honored to have been recognized by Inc. not just for a standard of excellence, but for how we combine profit and purpose at Pray.com. At Pray.com, prayer is the priority. As the world's #1 app for daily prayer, Pray.com strives to help people grow faith, cultivate community, and leave a legacy of helping others," said Pray.com founder and CEO Steve Gatena. "Pray.com appreciates Inc.'s efforts to bring attention to social impact companies, and we are grateful to be listed at the top."
