Lindbergh Award Nomination Guidelines | Print |

In their life encompassing aviation, exploration, conservation, the sciences, and the humanities, Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh developed a philosophy that: the preservation and enhancement of the quality of life on Earth is dependent upon the establishment and maintenance of a balance between our advancing technology and our natural environment. The Lindbergh Foundation was established in 1977 to further their vision of such a balance, and the Lindbergh Award program is one of the ways the Foundation pursues this mission. Each year, this award recognizes an individual(s) for significant contributions over many years to a technology/nature balance. It is presented at a special event usually scheduled in May. The Corporate Award or Balance honors corporations or organizations whose business practices demonstrate a commitment to fostering our environment.
