The award recognizes an established performer who enhances the acting profession's image while actively participating in humanitarian efforts. SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher praised Fonda, describing her as "a trailblazer and an extraordinary talent." Drescher acknowledged Fonda as a dynamic force in entertainment, advocacy, and culture, noting her unwavering passion.

Fonda's artistic legacy is accompanied by numerous accolades, including two Academy Awards for Klute (1971) and Coming Home (1978). Additional honors consist of two BAFTAs, an Emmy, seven Golden Globes, and last year’s TIME Magazine Earth Award. In recognition of her contributions, Women in Film established the annual Jane Fonda Humanitarian Award in 2021.
