(Qualified Nonprofits Can Apply to Receive $40,000 Each from
GlaxoSmithKline 11th Annual IMPACT Awards)
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The deadline for the
GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) 11th Annual IMPACT Awards is 4 p.m., EDT on
August 28, 2007. Up to ten nonprofit organizations that provide "access to
healthcare" in the Greater Philadelphia area can receive $40,000 each in
unrestricted award funding. Applications should be submitted by
organizations for outstanding achievement and excellence in providing
healthcare access.
The GlaxoSmithKline IMPACT Awards honor nonprofit organizations that
have a significant impact on their communities and are capable, proactive
and effective in their work. Winners in previous years include
organizations that provide healthcare advocacy, medical, dental and vision
care for the underserved.
To qualify for a GlaxoSmithKline IMPACT award, applicants must provide
access to community healthcare services (primary mission) in the
Pennsylvania counties of Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lancaster,
Montgomery and Philadelphia; have a total annual operating budget of less
than $2.5 million; and have been in existence as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization for at least five years. Organizations will be recognized for
the success and achievements of their existing overall body of work, not
just for new or specific initiatives. A panel of local and national
healthcare delivery experts and GlaxoSmithKline representatives will
determine the winners based on a strong demonstration of ongoing success in
providing access to healthcare; commitment to serving people in need;
facilitation of healthcare delivery, education, creative partnerships and
policy development; and a solid record of achievement, management and
leadership.
The GlaxoSmithKline IMPACT Awards will be presented at an awards
ceremony in Philadelphia in early 2008. For more details and to apply,
