THE CHARLES BRONFMAN PRIZE CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF GLOBAL HUMANITARIAN IMPACT

Hosted at the Jewish Museum in New York City during the United Nations General Assembly Week from September 22^nd to September 25^th, The Charles Bronfman Prize convened the Laureates to collaborate—sharing stories about their efforts to drive change, curate solutions and meet needs globally, while also recognizing the added resilience required of humanitarian leaders today.

"Caring about something enough to truly dedicate yourself to help those in need and solve the problems of the world is no small matter," said Charles Bronfman, philanthropist and the namesake of the Prize. "I continue to be in awe of all of the Laureates. Their shared connection and their desire to have meaningful impact in our complex world was moving beyond measure. I know they inspired me but more importantly, I believe their shared stories ignited new ideas and continue to inspire the next generation of humanitarians."

The extensive anniversary programming spotlighting Prize Laureates included: 

"It was both humbling and heartening to witness the Laureate community come together this week. Being a humanitarian is a selfless commitment to make the world better, and the passion and dedication of these young leaders especially in today's ever-challenging geopolitical environment, is awe-inspiring. This anniversary was a celebration of the immeasurable impact of the last two decades of laureates," said Ellen Bronfman Hauptman and Stephen Bronfman, Charles Bronfman's children who along with their spouses, Andrew Hauptman and Claudine Blondin Bronfman, established The Charles Bronfman Prize in 2004 to honor his legacy on his 70th birthday.

The Charles Bronfman Prize is currently accepting nominations for the next Prize Laureate, who will be announced in January 2025. From now through October 9, changemakers can be nominated through the Prize's website, thecharlesbronfmanprize.org/nominate.
