GlaxoSmithKline IMPACT Awards offer up to £35k to health charities

The GlaxoSmithKline IMPACT Awards are open for entries. Funded by GlaxoSmithKline and managed in partnership with The King's Fund, they are designed to recognise and reward charities that are doing excellent work to improve people's health.

An overall winner will receive £35,000, nine other winners receive £25,000, and up to ten organisations that are highly commended or runners-up will receive £5,000 or £3,000.

The awards are open to registered charities that are at least three years old, working in a health-related field in the UK, with a total annual income between £10,000 and £1 million.

Unlike other grants and awards, you do not need to present a new project. The awards are designed to recognise success and achievements for existing work.

The deadline for applications for the 2010 awards is 5pm on 25 September 2009.
