The Antonio Pizzigati Prize for Software in the Public Interest annually awards a $10,000 cash grant to one individual who has created or led an effort to create an open source software product of significant value to the nonprofit sector and movements for social change.
The Pizzigati Prize honors the brief life of Tony Pizzigati ( http://www.tides.org/impact/awards-prizes/pizzigati-prize/tony/ - he does not have a Wikipedia entry), an early advocate of open source computing.
