Halcyon Awards

Home > Halcyon Awards

Our largest fundraising event of the year, the Halcyon Awards recognize and honor talented arts icons, successful social entrepreneurs, and public policy visionaries – changemakers and trailblazers who have dedicated their lives to pushing past traditional boundaries to create a movement, lead an organization, or impact the world. They act as beacons for our early-stage social entrepreneur fellows, and inspire all of us with their ingenuity, passion, and accomplishment.

Each year, our three awardees include:
Arts Icon Award spotlighting an icon of artistic and social impact
Business Luminary Award honoring a global pioneer in social enterprise
Policy Visionary Award celebrating innovators in public policy

This year's Halcyon Awards will be held on October 20, 2022. Stay tuned for more details!
