The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation
is inviting nominations for the 2001 Hilton Humanitarian Prize. They are seeking
an organisation that has made extraordinary contributions toward alleviating human
suffering anywhere in the world.

The $1 million (U.S.) prize, the world’s largest humanitarian award, is presented
annually to an established non-profit, charitable or non-governmental organisation.
The prize is not a grant, based on future goals, but an award for recent and historic
accomplishments.

An independent international panel of jurors will make the final selection and the
award will be announced in Autumn 2001.
