--- ## Description The GSK IMPACT Awards for Greater Philadelphia annually honor up to ten nonprofit organizations demonstrating exceptional achievements in advancing community health across Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. The awards recognize organizations that exemplify innovation, measurable outcomes, partnerships, accountability, community-centeredness, and transformative impact. Funded by GSK and administered by The Philadelphia Foundation, the program focuses on the broader social determinants of health—such as community safety, education, employment, family support, housing, nutrition, and physical activity—rather than direct healthcare delivery. The application process is rigorous, involving registration screening, a full application, and site visits, with final selection by a panel of community health experts and GSK representatives. --- ## Due Dates - March 2026: Registration deadline (anticipated/projected) - May 2026: Full application deadline (anticipated/projected) *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Up to 10 organizations will each receive a $50,000 unrestricted award. - Awards are one-time, unrestricted grants. --- ## Eligibility Eligible organizations must: - Be an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit (not a church, religious, political, or private foundation). - Have annual gross revenues of at least $100,000 and no more than $5,000,000 for each of the two most recent fiscal years (excluding pledges and in-kind donations). - Serve beneficiaries who are primarily residents of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, or Philadelphia counties (physical office in these counties not required). - Operate at least one active program addressing one or more of the following community health factors: community safety, education, employment & income, family & social support, housing & built environment, or nutrition & physical activity. - Not provide or facilitate access to healthcare services; organizations employing healthcare professionals (see [FAQ for full list](https://www.philafound.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/GSK-2025-Final-FAQ.pdf)) or those billing insurance/government programs are ineligible. - Not allocate more than 25% of their annual budget to patient advocacy. - Not have a disease-specific mission. - Not be a GSK customer or affiliate (including clinics, hospitals, academic medical centers, etc.). - Not have received a GSK IMPACT Award in 2023 or 2024 (prior winners may reapply only if there has been substantial positive change or program development). - Not operate under fiscal sponsorship. - Not employ healthcare professionals as paid staff (volunteer board members/volunteers with healthcare credentials are permitted). - Not submit joint registrations; each nonprofit must apply individually. --- ## Application Process 1. **Eligibility Review:** Read all eligibility requirements and the [FAQ](https://www.philafound.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/GSK-2025-Final-FAQ.pdf) thoroughly. 2. **Registration:** Submit an online registration form by the anticipated March deadline. 3. **Screening:** The Philadelphia Foundation reviews registrations for eligibility. 4. **Full Application:** Eligible organizations are invited to submit a detailed application by the anticipated May deadline. 5. **Site Visits:** Finalists are selected for site visits in summer. 6. **Selection:** A panel of experts and GSK representatives evaluates finalists and selects up to ten awardees. --- ## Additional Information - GSK IMPACT Awards are unrestricted and may be used flexibly by winning organizations. - Awarded organizations may not receive another GSK charitable grant in the same year (excludes GSK Foundation Matching Gifts). - The program is highly competitive; only up to ten organizations are selected annually. - For questions about eligibility or the process, contact [GSKImpactAwards@philafound.org](mailto:GSKImpactAwards@philafound.org). --- ## External Links - [Program Information & Application Portal](https://www.philafound.org/nonprofits/available-grants/special-initiative-grants/gsk-impact-awards/) - [Eligibility FAQ & Healthcare Professions List (PDF)](https://www.philafound.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/GSK-2025-Final-FAQ.pdf) - [County Health Rankings & Roadmap](https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/) --- ## Contact Information | Contact | Email | Phone | Web Contact Form | |--------------------------|--------------------------------------------|---------------|-------------------------------------------------------| | The Philadelphia Foundation | [GSKImpactAwards@philafound.org](mailto:GSKImpactAwards@philafound.org) | 215-563-6417 | [Contact Page](https://www.philafound.org/contact/) |
