Aurora uplifts grassroots humanitarians, advancing a global movement of "Gratitude in Action" that brings life-saving aid to those who need it most.
The program enables participants around the world to help identify and document local humanitarians working in conflict-affected and crisis settings. Their research contributes directly to the #AuroraPrize selection process, helping ensure that frontline responders are seen and considered.
