Climate Change: €1 million ($1.05 million) Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation invites nominations for the Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity

 Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation invites nominations for the Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity

An international foundation based in Portugal, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation aims to promote the development of individuals and organizations, through art, science, education, and charity, for a more equitable and sustainable society.
 
The foundation invites nominations for the Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity, a €1 million ($1.05 million) prize that recognizes outstanding contributions to climate action and climate solutions that inspire hope.
 
The prize puts people at the center and celebrates human ingenuity in developing solutions to climate change. This is not a prize that solely rewards technical innovation—it also rewards action by individuals, networks and organizations for the benefit of both humanity and nature.
 
In selecting a winner, the jury seeks transformative solutions with the potential for long-term impact and scalable benefits for both the environment and society that demonstrate inspiring leadership and forward-thinking approaches.
 
Any individual, organization, or group of people and organizations making a significant contribution to tackling climate change is eligible. Nominations must come from a third party. Self-nominations are not permitted.
 
For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation website.

Trust: Trust in Society, Institutions, and Each Other. December 2024

 

 

Charles,

If you want to make meaningful social change, get serious about replenishing trust. Reports show that trust in society, institutions and each other continues to decline. This makes it difficult to dream together and make change. But organizations and leaders have the power to replenish trust. 

On December 17th at 11:00 am PT, Kristen Grimm of Spitfire Strategies will walk through the recent Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funded guide, Replenishing Trust: A Guide to Help Civil Society Organizations Reverse the Trust Deficit.

Register today to explore practical and concrete ways nonprofits, academia, government agencies, philanthropies, and other civil society organizations can gain—and maintain—trust. 

FEATURING:

Kristen Grimm, Founder and Strategist at Spitfire Strategies, has helped hundreds of nonprofits and foundations develop winning communication and campaign strategies to spur action around some of today’s most pressing problems – and inspire many more people to get involved. She has reformed, reframed and re-imagined critical issues ranging from restoring the Gulf of Mexico after the BP oil spill to protecting Americans’ online privacy rights to making sure all kids have access to a good education, nutritious food and quality health care. She recently founded Best-Case Scenario to strengthen safe and sound civic spaces.
