Nominations are still open for the 2009 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize, the
world’s largest humanitarian award. Each year it is given to an organisation that
has made an extraordinary contribution toward alleviating human suffering in the
world.

The award is given to an established nonprofit, charitable, or non-governmental 
organisation, not to an individual. It is not a grant based on future goals, but
an award for recent and historic accomplishments.

The 2009 prize will be announced in Autumn 2009.

Nominated organizations must have an operating budget (expenditures) greater than

Nominations must be received or postmarked by 3 November 2008.
