Philanthropic Impact
Genesis Prize Laureates are dedicated to the Jewish value of tikkun olam, making the world a better place, one cause at a time. Read about their impact with The Genesis Prize Foundation.
Each year, the Genesis Prize Laureate chooses to forgo the $1 million financial award and in the Laureate’s honor the Foundation develops a unique grant-making program to promote a philanthropic theme, attract additional donors, and motivate the global Jewish community to effect positive change.

Since inception in 2013, The Genesis Prize has leveraged the annual $1 million award into philanthropic initiatives totaling $50 million, with grants going to 250 nonprofit programs in 31 countries, directly impacting the lives of tens of thousands of people.
