GlaxoSmithKline IMPACT Awards offer £35,000 to spend how you want
Howard Lake | 8 July 2010 | News
The GlaxoSmithKline IMPACT Awards, which recognise and reward charities that are doing excellent work to improve people’s health, are now open for entries. They offer £35,000 to an overall winner, £25,000 to nine other winners, and £5,000 or £3,000 to up to ten organisations that are highly commended or runners up.
Unusually, and attractively for charities, the winners decide how to use the award money. The prizes are unrestricted income, so you do not need to enter a particular or new project to qualify. Organisers GlaxoSmithKline and The King’s Fund say that “the awards are designed to recognise success and achievements for existing work”.
The awards are open to registered charities that are at least three years old, working in a health-related field in the UK, and have a total annual income of between £10,000 and £1.5 million.
The deadline for applications for the 2011 awards is 17.00 on 24 September 2010.
