A new fundraising opportunity, via our friends at WASHfunders.org:
Editor’s Note: The STARS Foundation is
a London-based organization that provides grants to nonprofits working with
disadvantaged children. The Foundation is now accepting applications for their
2013 Impact Awards, including their new WASH category, which recognizes the
impact that WASH solutions can have on improving the well-being of children.
The STARS Foundation is pleased
to announce the launch of the 2013 STARS Impact Awards recognizing outstanding
organizations that achieve excellence in the provision of services to
disadvantaged children.
In response to a growing demand
for flexible funding, STARS invites NGOs to apply for up to 16 Impact Awards
and, for the first time, has added a new category — Water, Sanitation, and
Hygiene (WASH) — due to the impact that improvements in this area can have on
child survival and well-being.
Organizations working with
children in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, or the Pacific are invited to apply.
The main Impact Award will be
given to four winners per region — one in each of the following categories:
Health, Education, Protection, and WASH. Winners will each receive $100,000 of
unrestricted funding together with a bespoke package of consultancy, PR, and
media support. Each organization will also benefit from the opportunity to work
together with STARS for up to one year to promote their plans to other donors
and seek to raise additional funding.
In addition to these main Impact
Awards, smaller awards of different sizes will be made at the discretion of
STARS’ board of trustees.
To find information regarding the
application process, the eligibility criteria, and to apply online, please
visit the Foundation's web site.
The closing date for applications
is 1PM GMT Monday, November 12, 2012.
