The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation is accepting nominations for the 2013 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize. The $1.5 million award is awarded annually to an organization making extraordinary contributions toward alleviating human suffering anywhere in the world.

The nominator should have direct knowledge of the nominated organization’s work. The nominator may not be an officer or employee, or any other individual receiving remuneration for their services from the nominated organization. Board members may nominate providing they receive no payment for their service. The nominator may not be a family member of an officer or employee of the nominated organization.

Since the prize is not a grant, nomination material should emphasize the organization’s accomplishments rather than future goals. Both historic and recent performance should be addressed. Suggested criteria to consider in describing a nominee’s work include extraordinary contributions in alleviating human suffering, an established record of achievement, innovation in program design, organizational capacity and administrative efficiency, and demonstration of long-term impact.
