Application guidelines
The North Carolina GlaxoSmithKline Foundation supports activities that help meet the educational and health needs of today's society and future generations. Focused primarily in North Carolina, the Foundation funds programs for the advancement of education, science, and health. The primary focus of the North Carolina GlaxoSmithKline Foundation is to provide seed funds for new and worthwhile educational programs. This policy does not preclude the consideration and possible funding of ongoing projects. Proposals may be submitted for either one year of funding or multi-year funding with a maximum duration of five years.
The Board of Directors will consider proposals that fall within the stated guidelines. Ordinarily, the board does not provide funds to programs that benefit a limited geographical region. The board may make an exception to this policy when a program has the potential to transcend its community's geographic boundaries or is established as a pilot program to be replicated on a larger scale.
The Foundation makes grants only to non-profit, charitable organizations and institutions exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. No grants are made for construction or restoration projects or international programs unless specifically exempted by the board.
Successful applicants must submit interim and final reports for each grant awarded. Specific reporting guidelines will be provided at the time a grant is made. Before the Foundation releases funds to an organization, the organization must review and approve a written agreement forwarded by the board.
Application deadlines
The North Carolina GlaxoSmithKline Foundation Board of Directors meets four times a year in March, June, September, and December to consider and award grants. Completed applications must be received by the first of the month, two months prior to the scheduled board meeting: January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1. If the stated deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, the next business day serves as the official deadline. The Foundation will acknowledge receipt of all applications and advise applicants of the anticipated date of board review. All applicants will be notified of the board's decision within 15 business days of the board meeting.
