Hero Award

Additional Grants for Past Honorees

Funding and support from World of Children does not stop when a grant is received. We continue to work with our Honorees in the years following their recognition, and the Hero Award is a unique honor given to those who have previously received an award. These are individuals who leveraged their original award far beyond what we could have anticipated—delivering an even more profound impact for children. World of Children provides additional grant funding and to all Hero Award Honorees.
