Applications are open for the Waislitz Global Citizen Awards 2023. The Waislitz Global Citizen Awards are annual cash prizes totaling $250,000 that recognize the excellence of individuals in their work to end extreme poverty. The awards are presented by the Waislitz Foundation and Global Citizen and supported by the leading US and Australian based cellular medicines company, Mesoblast Ltd. and Unico Capital Holdings.

“Ending extreme poverty is not a choice, it’s an obligation. My hope is that it will inspire many thousands of people around the world to do what they can to improve the living standards of those in dire need,” Chairman and Founder of the Melbourne-based Waislitz Foundation, Alex Waislitz.

The Waislitz foundation exists to create a positive social impact locally and globally through innovative projects that empower individuals to meet their full potential and make a measurable difference to the world.

The 2023 Waislitz Global Citizen Awards feature three awards totaling $250,000.

  • $75,000: The Waislitz Global Citizen Disruptor Award
  • $75,000: The Waislitz Global Citizens’ Choice Award

In addition to the cash prizes, the three winners will be profiled in editorial pieces that will be featured on the Global Citizen platform and social media.
