STARS 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.
Over a two stage process, the recipients will be 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.
The specific criteria that STARS is interested in are:
•Delivery of programmes that positively affect the lives of disadvantaged children and an ability to measure and demonstrate impact
•Governance and accountability to stakeholders
•Effective finance and administration
•Use of technology and ICT to enhance delivery of programmes
•Innovation and flexibility
•Networking and collaborating with other organisations
•Development of staff members and/or volunteers
•Inclusion and access
STARS would also like to know how organisations would use the Award if they were to be selected as an Award recipient.
Further guidance on all the above is available in the application form
