Thank you...

The work of the Right Livelihood Award Foundation is made possible by the generosity of our Partners and Friends.

Partners

Since the Award was founded in 1980, five women have chosen to invest in the future of the Award by making very significant contributions to its capital. Some of them have remembered the Award in their wills, so that their life's work can live on after them creating a better future for others. Our Partners have been absolutely central to building the unique international standing and value that the Award has today. They have our and all our Recipients' most profound gratitude. Our Partners are:

A German artist

Sarah Noble
A Swedish nurse
Annette Ringier

Join us!

Many of our Partners and Friends have a very close relationship with the Award. They participate at the Award Ceremonies, meet Recipients and get involved in our global network of pioneers and practical visionaries working for a better future. They have varied backgrounds and come from all walks of life.

The global challenges that Right Livelihood Award Recipients are confronting threaten our very future, and the coming years and decades will be critical for humanity to choose path. Our Laureates will be needed more and more as compasses and bearers of hope on this most difficult journey that humanity has ever undertaken.

Sustaining the Right Livelihood Award in this crucial period will only be possible with the help of new Friends and Partners joining us. If you are interested in our work and if you want to learn more - please contact us so that we can find out how we can work together.

"We endorse the Right Livelihood Award with a contribution for a simple reason. We could have supported directly other noble, laudable efforts around the world. But the prize of the Right Livelihood has an enormous value-added: in addition to the financial support, it brings to winners, sometimes hardly known, international recognition, credibility, and protection. And that uplift can in turn inspire the recipient and others."
