GSK Ireland opens IMPACT Awards
Howard Lake | 18 June 2015 | News
GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) has announced an awards scheme for Ireland which will provide funding for health and wellbeing work.
This is the first year of the GSK Ireland IMPACT Awards, an expansion of the GSK IMPACT Awards in the UK and USA that have been running for 18 years.
The awards are open to registered charities that are at least three years old, working in a health-related field in Ireland, with a total annual income between €20,000 and €1,000,000.
Applicants do not need to present a new project and can spend the award money whatever way they wish. The Awards will grant aid up to five winners with €10,000 in unrestricted funding while up to five organisations will receive €1,000.
GSK believe the awards will provide organisations with an important quality mark to use on websites, email signatures and stationery. Winners will also receive an opportunity to network and learn from other charitable organisations in Ireland.
The deadline for applications is 5pm on Tuesday 30 June 2015. The GSK Ireland IMPACT winners will be presented with their awards at a ceremony in Dublin in October 2015.
Application guidelines and application form are available from GSK Ireland.
