01
Sai Baba Peace Foundation
Board of Trustees, responsible for legal standing, finance and long-term stewardship.
Transparency
Everything that can be published,is published
Transparency is intended to be one of the strongest characteristics of the Sai Baba Peace Awards — in governance, in accounts and in the way decisions are made.
Governance
The operating structure
02
Awards Council
Independent, responsible for nominations, evaluation and the final choice of laureates.
03
Peace Fund Committee
Responsible for grants, agreements, monitoring and published impact.
04
Ethics & Integrity Committee
Conflict-of-interest review, complaints, integrity concerns, due diligence, sponsorship ethics and the award withdrawal policy.
05
International Advisory Council
Respected voices from Europe, North America, Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia and India.
06
Event & Production Team
Venue, production, hospitality and ticketing only — with no role in award decisions.
The separation of money from award decisions is fundamental.

Policies
The published rules
Conflict-of-interest policy
Every Council and jury member declares any personal, professional, financial or organisational relationship with a nominee. Where a conflict exists, that member does not participate in that nominee's evaluation.
Nomination rules
Written nomination by a competent nominator through one of three routes. Self-nomination is not accepted. Evidence of documented work is required.
Selection rules
Eligibility check, expert jury evaluation, Council shortlist and a final confidential decision — as set out in the Awards Charter.
Confidentiality
Nominations, investigations and opinions relating to the decision remain confidential. Internal voting is never published.
Sponsorship ethics
Support funds the programme and the Peace Fund. It never confers selection rights, jury seats or advance information.
Award withdrawal
The Ethics & Integrity Committee may recommend withdrawal of an award where integrity is found to have been breached.
Non-Negotiables
Five things that never change
01
Independent jury
Nobody buys an award.
02
Transparent accounts
Every contribution and every expense accounted for and audited.
03
Real impact
Every award must represent genuine, documented work.
04
Global representation
Not only Indian personalities — the world must be able to nominate and take part.
05
A long-term Peace Fund
The event must leave something behind after the lights go off.
