In 1947, the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and Friends Service Council (FSC) in Britain accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of all Quakers.
Because Nobel laureates have the opportunity to nominate future Nobel Peace Prize winners, AFSC and Quaker Peace and Social Witness (QPSW, the modern descendent of FSC) jointly nominate a candidate to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee in Oslo for their consideration each year.
AFSC maintains a Nobel Peace Prize Nominating Task Group that spends ten months each year discerning, through research, prayerful consideration and careful discussion, a recommendation of a nominee to the AFSC Board. QPSW names a representative to the Task Group, who joins in that work.
