The World of Children Awards program was created “to recognize and elevate those selfless individuals who make a difference in the lives of children here in the U.S.A. and across the globe, regardless of political, religious, or geographical boundaries.” Awards are made in three categories, and each award carries a cash grant to help continue the honoree’s work.
The 2010 Humanitarian Award, which includes a grant of up to $50,000, recognizes an individual who has made a significant contribution to children in the areas of social services, education, or humanitarian services. Nominees must have created, managed, or otherwise supported a sustainable program which has significantly contributed to children’s opportunities to be safe, to learn, and to grow.
The 2010 Founder’s Youth Award, which includes a grant of up to $25,000, recognizes youth who are making extraordinary contributions to the lives of other children. Nominees must be under the age of 21.
Nominees may be individuals or groups of individuals but not organizations. Self-nominations are accepted.
