Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, chairman of Alwaleed Philanthropies (AP), was honored with the first-ever Global Philanthropic and Humanitarian Achievements Award by the National Council on US-Arab Relations (National Council) at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
The award was presented in recognition of his tireless and magnanimous efforts in helping to build a world of greater tolerance, acceptance, respect, equality, opportunity, and justice for all.
National Council Founding President and CEO Dr. John Duke Anthony, Council Board Member Ms. Paige Peterson, and Council Executive Vice President Patrick Mancino personally conveyed the award to Prince Alwaleed.

With this pledge, I am honoring my lifelong commitment to what matters most – helping to build a more peaceful, equitable, and sustainable world for generations to come.”
