About the Awards
The STARS Impact Awards identify and support local organisations that achieve excellence in the provision of services to disadvantaged children and that demonstrate effective management practices.
Each main 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.

- $100,000 of unrestricted funding
- A bespoke package of consultancy and PR support
- Media training

- A film that showcases their work
- A week in London for a representative to receive the Award and meet potential part
