The Sidney Hillman Foundation was named for the labor leader, Sidney Hillman (1887-1946),
who was the first president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America (ACWA).
Immediately after his death, his union wished to honor him with a memorial that would
carry on his commitments to the lives of working people. On November 17, 1946, the
General Executive Board of the ACWA voted to establish the Sidney Hillman Foundation.
ACWA contributed the first $100,000 and then raised one million dollars from other
organizations. In 1947, the Board of Directors issued the first grants for scholarships,
research and lectures on college campuses, and for medical research at the Sidney
Hillman Health Centers.
In 1950, the Foundation launched the Hillman Prize in order to promote socially-responsible
journalism. Starting with awards in Book, Magazine, Newspaper, and Broadcast, the
prize is now also offered in the categories of Photojournalism, Web, and Opinion and
Analysis. One important note is that the Hillman Foundation changed its dating system
for prizes in 1999/ 2000. The Foundation decided to name the prize for the year it
was given rather than the year the work was produced, changing the pattern of the
previous fifty years. This new system continues to the present. This means that in
effect there are no prizes for the year 1999, but a year was not skipped in the granting
of awards.
