Deadline: March 31, 2018
Nominations are now open for the World of Children, which provides funding and recognition to support life-changing work for children by discovering and elevating only the most effective changemakers for children worldwide. In their mission to support life-changing work for children, they seek out only the most effective changemakers for children worldwide.
The Awards recognize real-life heroes working to dramatically improve the lives of children. But that’s not all: Honorees also receive grant funds and media attention, both of which help their gold standard programs grow so that they will ultimately impact the lives of even more children.
Do you know a nonprofit leader who is running a high-impact program for the world’s most vulnerable children? Nominate them for the World of Children Award.
They give awards in five categories:
- The Health Award is for those providing services specifically in the fields of health, nutrition, medicine and pediatric sciences.
- The Humanitarian Award is specifically for those providing social and humanitarian services.
- The Education Award is specifically for those providing educational and developmental services.
- The Protection Award is specifically for those providing services and protection from fear, abuse, and exploitation (including but not limited to trafficking, slavery and sexual imposition).
- The Youth Award is specifically for a young person under the age of 21 who is making extraordinary contributions in helping other youth.
Your selection should be based on the work the nominee has done for children.
