“The human future depends on our ability to combine the knowledge of science with the wisdom of wildness.”
— Charles A. Lindbergh, “The Wisdom of Wildness,” Life, Dec. 22, 1967

The Lindbergh Award is used to acknowledge individuals whose work has made a significant contribution toward balancing our technological advancements with the care and protection of our human and natural environments.

Each year since 1978, the Foundation has presented its Lindbergh Award to highly respected individuals in cities around the country. The award recipient is the featured speaker at an annual celebration, which serves as an opportunity to honor the award recipient, communicate a common vision and inspire those in attendance.

If you know someone worthy of this honor, please use the Lindbergh Award Nomination Guidelines and Nomination Form to submit your nomination to the Lindbergh Foundation by December 15 of each year for consideration for future Lindbergh Awards. Visit our Lindbergh Award section for further information.

Members of the Lindbergh Foundation’s Award Selection Committee will consider all nominations and will submit their recommendation to the full board, which makes the final selection. Nominees who are deemed worthy will continue to be considered for future Lindbergh Awards, and need not be re-nominated.

The success of the Lindbergh Award program is dependent upon the great work being done on behalf of balance by individuals from around the world. These people deserve to be recognized for their accomplishments and dedication. We hope you have been inspired to nominate someone worthy of this honor.

Sincerely,

David Treinis
Vice Chairman
