Package of Support
As well as enabling organisations to reach more children directly, the flexibility of our support allows for vital breathing space.
It means charities can also choose to strengthen their core functions and operating capacity, to invest in their stability and sustainability, and most importantly to adapt their plans in response to changing local circumstances – all of which strengthens their overall service delivery to children.
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.
Rising Star Award
In addition, a smaller Award may be made at the discretion of the STARS Board of Trustees to recognise the work of an organisation whose application demonstrates potential as a ‘Rising Star’.
We work closely with our recipients to help them maximise the value and impact of their Awards package. For more information on how organisations have chosen to use their Awards funding and consultancy support, please visit our recipient profiles
