Footnote: The Order of Merit is a Portuguese Honourific Order of civil merit, intended to award those responsible for meritorious acts or services performed in the exercise of any functions, both in the public and the private sphere, which reveal self-sacrifice in favour of the community. The decorations are given by the President of the Portuguese Republic, in his role as the Grand-Master of the Portuguese Honourific Orders. The Order of Merit can be awarded, during life or posthumously, to both Portuguese and foreign citizens; it can also be awarded to localities or institutions that are legal persons governed by public law or of public utility. This order has been awarded to a number of people performing the most diverse functions such as ambassadors, business people, military personnel, athletes and musicians. The Order of Merit has its origin in April 1927, when the Order of Instruction and Volunteerism was created. The goal of this now extinct order was to distinguish the services performed by people or corporations in order to further the instruction in the country. In 1929, the Order of Instruction and Benedict was split in two different orders, the Order of Volunteerism and the Order of Public Instruction, with the former now solely awarding acts related to social causes, public assistance and goodwill. In 1976, the order was renamed to its current title. It is awarded in six classes: Grand Cross (GCM), Grand Officer (GOM), Commander (ComM), Officer (OM), Medal (MedM) and Honourary Member (MHM for organizations)..
