Great, this is exactly the sort of response I was hoping for!
I do not have a personal connection to the award, and I don’t know how many charities were nominated last year. I plan to nominate the organization that stands out in this discussion (thus far J-PAL). The website doesn’t mention any kind of voting system, so one nomination should suffice.
Frustratingly, I think the requirement that the organization must serve North American women rules out ACE, SCI, CFAR, and Encompass. J-PAL may have a chance.
J-PAL would be very unlikely to qualify (they may have done a bit of work in Mexico, but I’m not aware of them having any coverage in the U.S. or Canada). I’d recommend checking that before you take the time to nominate them. (Still, thanks for broadcasting this award in the first place; it’s nice to know that people are keeping an eye out for good funding opportunities like this.)

I think J-PAL North America does do lots of work in the US although I doubt they’re focused enough on women/​children to qualify for this. https://​​www.povertyactionlab.org/​​na/​​about
