What are the Impact Awards?

Established as an annual award, the STARS Impact Awards support organisations committed to achieving excellence in the provision of services to disadvantaged children and encourage the replication of effective approaches and practices.

Each Award provides US$100,000 of unrestricted funding as well as consultancy support tailored to meet the needs of the recipients.

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’.

The Awards recognise one recipient in each category of health, education and protection.

The recipients are selected against a range of criteria which reflect the hallmarks of effective practice and demonstrate a positive impact on the lives of the children supported.
