The NAACP-Archewell Digital Civil Rights Award, established in 2022 in partnership with the Sussexes’ charitable organization, now known as Archewell Philanthropies, honors individuals advancing digital civil rights and promoting technology equity. 


Previous philanthropic trips by the couple include visits to Nigeria and Colombia in 2024.


Prince Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, have long-standing ties with the NAACP, having received the organization’s President’s Award in 2022 for distinguished public service and special achievement. 


Archewell’s work has included efforts to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic, support the Black Lives Matter movement, and advance racial justice initiatives.
