Prince’s Prize for Innovative philanthropy
The Prince’s Prize for Innovative Philanthropy is the result of a partnership between the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the Tocqueville Foundation. The Prize is awarded to individuals or institutions as part of the annual Prince’s Round Table for Philanthropy, a closed-door discussion bringing together major international philanthropists in the Principality. The event, held at the Yacht Club de Monaco, celebrated its 10th edition this year and brought together nearly 40 philanthropists for the occasion.
