Elisabeth Norgall Prize

The Elisabeth Norgall Prize is awarded annually by the "International Women's Club of Frankfurt eV" in memory of Elisabeth Norgall to a woman who is committed to the problems and concerns of women and children. Since 1978 a German and a foreigner have been honored alternately. The Norgall Prize is endowed with € 6,000.

The importance of the award lies primarily in the fact that in this way people who perform in remarkable aid projects by non-governmental organizations and who, in the opinion of the jury, have not received enough attention, are honored and financially supported, to which the associated media coverage also contributes.
