The Crisis Award recognizes individuals making extraordinary contributions to children affected by war, natural disasters, or other crises creating large cohorts of extremely vulnerable children. The Crisis Award allows World of Children and our community of donors to agilely respond to the needs of these children.
In partnership with UNICEF USA, the first Crisis Award was presented at the 2017 Hero Awards Benefit. This award and the Honorees we select are outside our regular nominations cycles, if and when a substantial need is recognized and an effective response is identified.
