The award is inspired by June Carter Cash, who worked for several charities, such as SOS Children's Villages in Austria, throughout her life. According to the CMT Music Awards' executive producers, Yearwood "embodies the bold strength of June, who tirelessly devoted herself to service and community, and the namesake for this award."

"Both multi-hyphenate trailblazers eloquently crafted a script for others to model, letting their hearts and authenticity guide their personal, professional and public lives," concluded the statement.

In addition to Habitat for Humanity, Yearwood's launched the animal rescue-focused charity Dottie's Yard and worked with organizations including the Carter Work Project, National Women Build Week, Stanford Women’s Cancer Center, American Cancer Society, Humane Society, Grammy Foundation MusiCares, Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power & Potential, Starkey Hearing Foundation and Susan B.
