The Genesis Prize

The annual $1 million Genesis Prize, dubbed the “Jewish Nobel” by TIME Magazine, honors extraordinary individuals for their outstanding professional achievements, contribution to humanity, and commitment to Jewish values.

The special 10th Anniversary Genesis Prize celebrates Barbra’s remarkable achievements in music and cinema as one of the world’s most beloved and admired artists. She joins other extraordinary Jewish leaders as a champion for the most vulnerable, whose sense of responsibility to heal the world grows out of her Jewish heritage and has informed her art, lifelong social activism, and philanthropy.

Barbra has asked The Genesis Prize Foundation to direct her prize funds to nonprofit organizations working in four areas: protecting the environment, promoting women’s health, combating disinformation in the media, and aiding the people of Ukraine.
