The Robert G. Wilmers Integrity Prize, which supports individuals working in the United States who demonstrate exceptional integrity through their actions and advocacy, has been awarded to Charles Grady, founder and CEO of Hang Time, a Connecticut nonprofit committed to empowering and reintegrating ex-offenders back into society. Awarded each year, the Prize is a no-strings-attached cash award of $50,000. In receiving the Wilmers Integrity Prize, Grady led an accomplished group of four finalists who have each launched game-changing programs to address inequity and drive positive change.

In addition to Charles Grady, winner of the 2024 Wilmers Integrity Prize, finalists include Tia Bell, Renee Fluker, and Rina Madhani. All four have a clear story, a potential for increased impact, and have unique projects. They have created programs that are both deeply personal and that you could imagine at significant scale. They represent different points along a spectrum of growth, but all at places where the Prize could help.
