Across all fields and industries worldwide, a group of humble yet exceptional philanthropists has emerged. Their outstanding contributions transcend boundaries of nationality, race, gender, and economic status. Though they may remain unnoticed by the general public, these philanthropists have achieved remarkable success in their respective domains and demonstrated extraordinary character. The ICSO International Public Welfare Ambassador program is dedicated to discovering and honoring these ordinary yet great individuals, documenting their life stories, recounting their journeys, praising their virtues and integrity, and spreading their benevolence. Through this selection, ICSO aims to identify individuals who excel in the fields of peace, friendship, and public welfare, and inspire more people to engage in this noble cause, jointly advancing the global development of public welfare and philanthropy.
01 ICSO International Public Welfare Ambassador
The title of “ICSO International Public Welfare Ambassador” is a prestigious honor awarded annually to 10 individuals from around the world who have made outstanding contributions to world peace, friendship, and public welfare. This award is advocated by the ICSO (International Commonweal Support Organization) and jointly organized by 79 global institutions, organizations, and media outlets that run transnational philanthropic projects, have established physical offices in UN Security Council member countries, and possess relevant qualifications. This selection is a globally celebrated event, aiming to commend those who have made exceptional contributions to world peace and philanthropy. It is ranked alongside the “UN Goodwill Ambassador” and the “International Charity Award” as one of the world’s most recognized, influential, and far-reaching honors in the public welfare domain.
02 Looking Back
Since its official launch on December 10, 2021, the ICSO International Public Welfare Ambassador Selection has grown into a globally renowned public welfare event. The selection committee is composed of mainstream media outlets, hosts, directors, journalists, entrepreneurs, and celebrities, who jointly identify 10 exceptional individuals from various sectors around the world each year. Honorees such as the renowned actor Sean Connery and distinguished anthropologist Paul Rabinow have received the title of ICSO International Public Welfare Ambassador, lending their social status and international influence to elevate the prestige of this award and set a noble example for others in the philanthropic field.
03 Nomination Criteria
With a forward-looking perspective, ICSO seeks domestic and international social leaders who have made outstanding contributions to charity and public welfare.
