**Beacon, the charitable initiative that aims to raise the profile of philanthropy
in the UK, has reported a very encouraging response to its call for nominations 
for the inaugural Beacon Prize, which will be awarded later this year.**

Beacon has received over 750 nominations for philanthropists and givers from across
the UK. The final judging will take place on 30th September.

A number of the UK’s leading charities are represented in the nominations as well
as a whole host of smaller charities and new charitable enterprises. “These nominations
really reflect the diversity of giving in the UK and show us to be a true nation
of philanthropists,” commented chief executive officer, Emily Stonor. “We’ve been
overwhelmed by the response and we would like to thank all of those who have made
nominations. To us, everyone who has been nominated is a winner in their own right.”
