Deadline: 13 April 2018
Applicants are invited to apply for the Social Impact Awards which is organised by The Gasan Foundation and Inspirasia Foundation that aims to create more opportunities, build a platform and network of people wanting to make a change and encourage changemakers to solve wicked problems, create system-change models and effective projects that can really solve problems in Malta and have a positive impact on the country and everyone.
The Social Impact Awards is an initiative which will enable participants to submit proposals for a positive social impact project that will benefit Malta. Finalists will be chosen to pitch their projects in front of philanthropists, individuals, companies and a panel of judges for the chance of being awarded financial or non-financial support.
The Social Impact Awards is intended to support projects of a philanthropic, educational, social or civic nature or in support of other deserving causes in Malta. It offers to provide opportunities for financial and nonfinancial support to develop and materialise a project which will have positive social impact on Malta.
Funding Information
- The grants awarded could vary but are usually in the range of €50,000 and under per winning project.
- Full project budget size must be between €10,000 to €100,000. If only a percentage of the funds are awarded there must be a guarantee that the additional funds can be raised.
Eligibility Criteria
The fund supports projects that will have a positive social impact on Malta. The Fund does not support organisations or individuals, but projects organised by organisations or individuals. An organisation’s daily operational expenses will only be covered by the Fund if these are shown to be necessary to the Project’s successful implementation. Additionally, for all organisations the Board of Administrators must ensure that:
- Its objectives, as outlined in its statute or constitutive documents, are consistent with the objectives of the proposal submitted;
- The proposed projects or initiatives being proposed for funding must not result in any profits that will benefit an individual or company; if profits arise they must be reinvested or ploughed back into the project or retained for future projects with the same social purpose;
- The beneficiaries of the proposed initiative or project are philanthropic, educational, social or civic nature or in support of other deserving causes in Malta.
