The Prince's Roundtable and The Prince's Prize for Innovative Philanthropy

In collaboration with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation,  the Roundtable brings together great leaders of civil society from different cultures of the world.
On this occasion, a philanthropic innovation prize is awarded to a person who has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to civil society.

DISCOVER

WHAT IT IS ?

The Prize for Innovative Philanthropy has arisen out of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco’s close involvement in the Prince’s Roundtable on Philanthropy

A closed-door discussion of leading international philanthropists which takes place in Monaco every year immediately following the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos. The Roundtable helps philanthropists to exchange ideas, share experiences and collaborate in a confidential environment. Each year the Roundtable examines a subject through the window of philanthropy and invites esteemed speakers to bring their unique perspectives to the discussion.


Many of the members of the Prince’s Roundtable on Philanthropy serve on the Nominating Committee and Jury for the Prince’s Prize, together with a select group of social entrepreneurs, foundation directors, academics and other opinion leaders. In 2019, the Prize was awarded to the former CEO of Unilever, Paul Polman, for his innovative approach to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
