Nomination Process

The Award:

The Charles Bronfman Prize is an humanitarian award of $100,000. It celebrates the vision and talent of an individual or team 50 years of age or under, whose humanitarian work has contributed significantly to the betterment of the world. Its goal is to bring public recognition to young, dynamic individuals whose Jewish values infuse their humanitarian accomplishments, provide inspiration to the next generations.

Nominators from distinguished international institutions (including universities, scientific institutions, medical centers, the public sector, the non-profit sector, religious institutions, community leaders, and philanthropists) have helped identify qualified nominees. In turn, Judges of the Prize have been privileged to consider hundreds of qualified nominations from around the globe -- young women and men whose diverse range of humanitarian efforts includes ground-breaking applications of medicine and science, education, human rights, conflict resolution, community development and compassionate care.
