Awards to recognize USA, Canada, and International Jewish individuals to recognize exceptional leadership and humanitarian accomplishments. Nominations are welcome on behalf of individuals under age 50 who have made a significant, measurable, and positive global impact. The Charles Bronfman Prize seeks to honor young humanitarian leaders and provide inspiration to the next generations.
The Charles Bronfman Prize accepts nominations in all areas of humanitarian work across a broad spectrum of disciplines. The Charles Bronfman Prize seeks to honor today’s Jewish heroes: next-generation leaders under the age of 50 who have a vision for change that will better the world in a meaningful way, who have created a mechanism for acting on that vision, and have delivered measurable results. Past recipients have distinguished themselves through their work in the fields of education, human rights, criminal justice, the environment and more. While Nominees must identify as Jewish, their endeavors should be universal, contributing to the betterment of the world at large.
Awards are intended for today’s Jewish heroes: next-generation leaders who have a vision for change that will significantly better the world, and who have created a mechanism for acting on that vision in ways that deliver measurable results.
Criteria:
- Nominees must be individuals or teams, not organizations. Specifically, the Award is interested in those who created the vision on which the organization/endeavor is founded or took the vision to the next level.
- Nominees must not have reached their 50th birthday by the close of the nomination period. There are no exceptions to this date.
- Nominees must be next-generation leaders who have a vision for change that will better the world in a meaningful way.
- Nominees must have created a mechanism for acting on their vision in ways that deliver measurable results.
- Nominees have exhibited innovation, leadership, and impact in their chosen field.
- Nominees must self identify as Jewish, espousing Jewish values and demonstrating universal regard for humanity that will inspire and serve as a model for future generations.
Nominators from a wide variety of distinguished institutions around the world help to identify qualified candidates for the Prize. While most have pursued social impact through non-profit mechanisms, some Nominees have used other creative vehicles of change, such as B Corporations.
Nominees cannot self-nominate. Nominators and references must be someone other than the Nominee, or his/her family members.
