Opus Prize
The Opus Prize recognizes unsung heroes who are conquering the world’s most persistent social problems.
“The Opus Prize is an annual faith-based humanitarian award, recognizing leaders and organizations that develop creative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems. The Prize is awarded in partnership with Catholic universities, providing new opportunities to inspire the next generation of servant leaders. From improving education in Afghanistan to supporting the families of incarcerated women in New York City, Opus Prize laureates are motivated by remarkable faith to create new opportunities for transformation.
The Opus Prize is more than just an award. It’s a promise to inspire students poised to impact the future. It’s when faith takes root and innovation happens. It’s an opportunity to champion change and be changed.”
Mano a Mano Co-Founder was an Opus Prize Finalist in 2012
The Opus Prize is a special award to Mano a Mano, since our co-founder Segundo Velasquez was a finalist for the 2012 Opus Prize, which was held at St. Kate’s on November 8, 2012. The Finalist award included a $100,000 prize for Mano a Mano (the Star Tribune wrote an article about Mano a Mano and the award, as well as the Pioneer Press).
