We are honored to be among such respected organizations — including our fellow Omidyar Network grantees, Skoll Foundation awardees, and Hilton Humanitarian Prize recipients — making a remarkable impact around the world. Organizations were judged on three pillars: impact, innovation, and governance, which are comprised of 165 individual evaluation criteria.
