Since its founding in 1950, the Sidney Hillman Foundation has supported journalism that serves the public good. Starting with prizes for daily newspapers and later adding photojournalism and opinion and analysis awards–most recently the SEIU Award for Reporting Racial and Economic Justice–it has consistently recognized those who take risks to discover truth and view long-term benefits where others only see short-term obstacles.

As part of its mission to shed light on the great issues of our time–ranging from finding an enduring peace process, improving housing, health care and employment security needs and fighting for civil liberties and democracy–we at the Foundation are particularly committed to supporting work which sheds light on those most at risk among us. Journalists and writers who aim for a better world through exploring its most difficult questions will continue to find support from us at the Foundation.
