2024 Alexander Hamilton Award Leadership Gift

The Hamilton Award Dinner is a special night in the life of the Institute. It provides us with an opportunity to honor deserving individuals who embody the mission of the Manhattan Institute—advancing opportunity, individual liberty, and the rule of law in America and its great cities.

The Alexander Hamilton Award was created to honor those individuals helping to foster the revitalization of our nation’s cities. We chose to name the award after Hamilton because, like the Manhattan Institute, he was a fervent proponent of commerce and civic life. Through the years, we have expanded the scope of the prize to celebrate leaders not just on the local level, but also at the state and federal levels, who have made remarkable things happen in the realms of public policy, culture, and philanthropy. We hope our celebration of these awardees encourages replication of their efforts.
