I know you mean well, but this prize would be pointed in exactly the wrong direction. One of the biggest flaws in the nonprofit world is that donors are measured by how much they gave away rather than how much good it did.
So while in the private sector, people are rewarded for efficiency, in the public sector the incentives point if anything in the opposite direction. It is a huge problem, one of the biggest in the world.

I agree, but this wouldn't be aimed at fixing that problem. It's aimed more narrowly at making sure people in positions where they ordinarily don't even question rules, recognize that not following the rules is sometimes good.

many tech companies certainly have this problem
