Impact Awards 2012: Stars Foundation ($100.000 to NGOs)

Posted by Unknown Friday, September 23, 2011 0 comments
Each Impact Award combines US$100,000 of unrestricted funding with tailored consultancy support and a package of media benefits, offering organisations the flexibility they need to respond to local challenges and plan for the future. Our approach is underpinned by a rigorous selection process, developed with PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP.
We provide detailed feedback to all applicants and through the data we collect, our understanding of the challenges facing local organisations continues to grow. We share this knowledge at every opportunity.
There are six Impact Awards in total: three Awards for Africa-Middle East and three for Asia-Pacific, across the categories of Health, Education and Protection.
Each Impact Award provides a package of support comprising:
  • US$100,000 of unrestricted funding – Giving recipient organisations the flexibility to respond more effectively to the challenges they face and to the needs of the children they serve
  • Tailored consultancy support – Offering recipient organisations access to training or skills and helping them to maximise the benefits of their Award
  • Media training, content and access – Providing recipient organisations with the tools and opportunities to use the Award to enhance their profile
*** BREAKING NEWS ***
This year, thanks to our partnership with the Ashmore Foundation, STARS is able to increase the number of Awards it intends to offer to 14. Of these, 6 Awards are made up of US$100,000 of unrestricted funding and additional consultancy support (as described above) and the other 8 Awards will range in value from US$15,000 to US$60,000.
