Guided by Conrad N. Hilton's last will and testament, our initiatives and programs fall into 11 priority areas. In November 2011, the Foundation announced a new strategy for helping children affected by HIV/AIDS.
Throughout the world, the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation works to fulfill the charge of our founder to serve those in great need. Confronting sight loss is one of our five major program areas.
The $1.5 million Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize for 2012 was awarded to HelpAge International in recognition of extraordinary work to alleviate human suffering.
A new In Practice report relays lessons learned from our work with permanent supportive housing in Los Angeles County.
The Foundation will be relocating to our new permanent home, a 70-acre campus in Agoura Hills designed to accommodate future growth while meeting Platinum Plus LEED-certified standards.
We recently participated in a roundtable discussion on "Managing Disasters." The discussion focused on best practices for more coordinated delivery and management of disaster relief and recovery, and the benefits of investing in capacity-building before a disaster strikes.
Conrad N. Hilton, founder of Hilton Hotels, left his fortune to the Foundation. In his last will and testament, he
charged us to relieve
the suffering of the
distressed and
the destitute.
