About The Heinz Awards

Established to honor the memory of U.S. Senator John Heinz, the Heinz Awards celebrated the belief that individuals have the power and the responsibility to create lasting, meaningful change. From 1993 to 2025, the Awards recognized 186 individuals and their contributions to the Arts, the Economy, the Environment, as well as other areas highlighted throughout the program’s history. The program was administered by the Heinz Family Foundation of Pittsburgh. “I believe what makes a society thrive are citizens determined to see shared ideals realized - realized not just for a select few, but as our pledge says, for all.” — Senator H.
