The Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity is designed to recognize individuals who risk their lives to save others suffering from violent conflict and atrocity crimes.

The Prize aims to bring global attention to the stories of modern-day heroes whose actions make a lasting difference in some of the world’s most challenging environments. The Prize operates with a participatory grant model, empowering the Laureate to direct a significant portion of the award to other impactful humanitarians, thereby continuing the cycle of giving and amplifying grassroots humanitarian efforts.

The program also includes the Aurora Research Grants, which enable individuals and institutional partners to identify and document the work of unsung humanitarians worldwide, contributing to a deeper understanding of humanitarian challenges and the realities faced by communities in crisis.

The Laureate receives a $1 million award, with $300,000 awarded directly and $600,000 allocated to other humanitarians as designated by the Laureate. Two Aurora Prize Finalists each receive a one-time payment of $50,000. Participants in the Aurora Research Grants program receive a stipend for their contributions, and those whose nominees are selected as finalists are invited to the Aurora Prize Ceremony.

The Prize is open to individuals from all countries who are committed to Aurora’s humanitarian mission and possess basic research skills, as well as to institutional partnerships with humanitarian organizations and universities. Applicants must be able to conduct research, organize information, and present profiles in English, following the guidance provided by the Aurora Prize Secretariat.
