Content Creator social media and graphic design

The Goldman Environmental Foundation was established by Richard & Rhoda Goldman in 1989 to honor and inspire grassroots environmental activism around the world. The Foundation administers the Goldman Environmental Prize, the world’s foremost prize for grassroots environmental leaders.

Each winner receives an unrestricted cash award, international recognition, and global visibility for the issues that they champion. By honoring these extraordinary leaders, the Foundation seeks to encourage all of us to protect the environment around the world.
