Goldman Environmental Prize

The Goldman Environmental Prize is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco, California. Founded in 1990, the organization is led by the children of its founders, Richard N. Goldman and Rhoda H. Goldman. The Goldman Environmental Prize employs 13 people and generates $2.5 million in annual revenue. The Goldman Environmental Prize supports environmental activists around the world who are working to achieve significant environmental victories. The organization recognizes these individuals through an annual award ceremony, providing them with a platform to share their stories and advocate for their causes. Winners are selected by an international jury from a pool of nominees submitted by environmental organizations and individuals globally. A key feature of the Goldman Environmental Prize is the opportunity it provides winners to participate in a 10-day tour of San Francisco and Washington, D.C. This tour includes an awards ceremony, news conferences, media briefings, and meetings with influential figures in politics, public policy, and the environmental sector.
