The US$1.5 million prize is presented annually to an established nonprofit, charitable, or non-governmental organisation. Nominees must be organisations, not individuals. The prize is not a grant based on future goals, but an award for recent and historic accomplishments.

Nominated organisations must have an operating budget larger than US$500,000.
