Monetary awards are either $100,000 or $50,000, beginning in 2009. There are no restrictions on how the prize money may be used. But our expectation is that the funds are a down payment on future contributions to the greater social good. For example, it may be used to cover living expenses to enable the winner to continue innovating. Or it may be used to further the work of the individual’s organization.
