The Charles Bronfman Prize

📣 And here we go! Charles Bronfman Prize family: We are officially accepting nominations for the 2025 Prize: $100,000 presented to a humanitarian under 50 whose innovative work, fueled by their Jewish values, has significantly improved the world: thecharlesbronfmanprize.org/nominations

2021 laureates Jessica Beckerman and Ari Johnson's organization @MusoHealth was featured in the @nytopinion's Charitable Gift Guide.

"Save a child’s life! One of the worst things that can happen to someone is to lose a child, and that is still far too common in poor countries... One recently published study found that even in an area with escalating armed conflict, Muso reduced child deaths by 63 percent."

@GiftofLife The organization discussed this partnership and its impact during their panel at #ThePrize20th events, where we heard firsthand from donors and recipients about the value and impact of the organization.

@GiftofLife, founded by inaugural Prize laureate Jay Feinberg, brings in hundreds of bone marrow matches through swabbing Birthright participants. 🧵

At #ThePrize20th events, both Ellen and Andrew spoke to growing up with Charles and witnessing his humanitarianism in action - laying the groundwork for what is now a 20-year legacy for the Prize.

Inspired by the work of their father, Ellen Bronfman Hauptman and Andrew Hauptman, together with their spouses, Andrew Hauptman and Claudine Blondin Bronfman, founded #TheCharlesBronfmanPrize in 2004 to honor their father on his 70th birthday. 🧵

For 20 years, the #CharlesBronfmanPrize has honored humanitarians. Charles Bronfman calls it “the most wonderful gift a parent could receive,” a legacy from his children that’s building a better world. #CharlesBronfmanPrize #SocialImpact #Changemakers #Philanthropy

Dr. Eric Rosenthal, founder of @dri_advocacy & our 2013 laureate, lit up #TheCharlesBronfmanPrize 20th anniversary in NYC, highlighting the vital need to include people with disabilities in social justice. His work is a true embodiment of the Prize's mission.

Dr. Amitai Ziv's impact at @sheba_medical has been profound—supporting freed hostages, rehabilitating injured soldiers, and driving innovation in Israel. Our 2007 laureate exemplifies why we honor young humanitarians: to witness their growing, lasting impact.
