Templeton Prize

The Templeton Prize was established in 1972 by Sir John Templeton to recognize living individuals whose exemplary achievements advance his philanthropic commitment to exploring spiritual realities. It is administered by the John Templeton Foundation, with support from the Templeton Religion Trust and the Templeton World Charity Foundation. Laureates include religious leaders, scientists, and philosophers who have made significant contributions through insight, discovery, or practical application affirming life's spiritual dimension. The prize's monetary value is adjusted annually to exceed that of the Nobel Prizes, amounting to £1.1 million in 2019. Award ceremonies have often been held at Buckingham Palace, with Prince Philip frequently presenting the award during his lifetime. The prize's original name was the 'Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion', reflecting its evolving focus on the intersection of science and spirituality.
