Charitable investments
We focus our charitable investments with organisations that are closely aligned to our purpose - to unite our science, talent and technology to get ahead of disease together.

Our UK charitable investments
We support a number of national and local community projects through the GSK IMPACT Awards and our UK charity investments.
GSK IMPACT Awards
The UK GSK IMPACT Awards, established in 1997, is an annual programme that recognises and rewards charities doing outstanding work to improve people's health and wellbeing throughout the UK. The awards are run in partnership with The King’s Fund, a leading independent health charity, and are open to charities with an annual income of between £150,000 to £3 million that are at least three years old.
The name ‘IMPACT’ is derived from the following criteria: Innovation, Management, Partnership, Achievement, Community focus and Targeting need - all of which applicants must be able to clearly demonstrate.
GSK IMPACT Award winners
However, becoming a GSK IMPACT Award winner means so much more than just receiving the unrestricted donation. As part of the award, all winners are invited to participate in a three-day training and development programme with The King’s Fund (valued at an additional £13,500). In addition, all award winners are also encouraged to join the GSK IMPACT Awards Network, providing ongoing support and connecting past winners together. This is designed to encourage members to work with each other, grow together, and share best practices both online and at face-to-face meetings to promote their continued success and growth.
Award winners receive unrestricted funding of £40,000 together with promotional assets to tell their organisation’s story. Runners-up receive unrestricted funding of £4,000.
