The Conrad N.Hilton Humanitarian Prize is presented annually to a non-profit organization that has made extraordinary contributions toward alleviating human suffering.
At $2million, the Hilton Humanitarian Prize is the world’s largest annual humanitarian award presented to a nonprofit organization. It honours the efforts of those who help others for the benefit and progress of humanity.
Established in 1996, the Hilton Humanitarian Prize is consistent with the guiding philosophy of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, as directed by its founder: to “relieve the suffering, the distressed and the destitute” throughout the world.
The Hilton Humanitarian Prize is intended to focus attention on the great need for humanitarian aid worldwide and to shine a light on those organizations providing hope for the afflicted and vulnerable.
Conrad N. Hilton is now accepting nominations for the 2020 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize.
The nomination period will close on Tuesday, October 1, 2019, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
