Maybe the point was that IEEE is a non-profit, so the award is about honor, not monetary amount.

Is that what 501 means? I think had such an explanation been the goal, then it could have been stated explicitly.

Though maybe in GP's field the term 501 is as commonly known as I think that IEEE is in mine. ))

Yes, 501(c)(3) is an easily recognizable (for Americans) reference to a non-profit organization, named so after the section of the tax code.
