The GSK IMPACT Awards for Greater Philadelphia, administered by Philadelphia Foundation in collaboration with GSK, recognize local nonprofits for exceptional achievements, overall excellence, and best practices in improving community health. The annual awards provide unrestricted support for organizations addressing the conditions in which people are born, raised, live, and work—not only what happens in a doctor’s office.
Recognized work includes health promotion and harm reduction, housing and transportation, clean air, water and land, climate resilience, civic and community resources, education, income and employment, and safety and social support. The program emphasizes existing programs with measurable outcomes, meaningful partnerships, sound governance, and responsiveness to community needs. It also recognizes work contributing to broader community health plans, influencing systemic reform, or being replicated or expanded.
