A tip on the trust-fundraising special interest group e-mail list suggests that 
GlaxoSmithKline is keen to receive more applications for its IMPACT awards.
Unusually
the awards offer up to £30,000 of unrestricted funding. They are open to registered
charities which have operated for over three years in a health-related field in 
the UK, and which have an annual budget of under £750,000.

The ten winners will each receive £20,000 and the overall winner will get an additional
£10,000.

Recipients get to decide how to spend the money: there is no need for the charity
to create a new project to benefit from the award. This is because the awards recognise
success and achievements for existing work.

Such flexible awards are unusual in the charity sector, so it is surprising that
GlaxoSmithKline is having to encourage more applications, as indicated by Penny 
Clover, writing on the trust-fundraising e-mail list.

The deadline for applications is 22 October 2004.
