The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation has started accepting nominations for the 2015 Hilton
Humanitarian Prize. At $1.5 million, this is the largest humanitarian award available
to charities.

Since 1996, it has been presented annually to a nonprofit organisation anywhere 
in the world that is “doing extraordinary work to alleviate human suffering”. UK
organisations have received the award in the past, including St Christopher’s Hospice.
