Is great governance helping you achieve more?

… then we want to showcase your story.

Raising the bar

The Charity Governance Awards is an exciting new not-for-profit initiative created to celebrate outstanding governance in charities both small and large.

We all know that effective governance makes a difference. And by sharing examples of inspirational trustees and brilliant boards we want to show how great governance and doing good go hand-in-hand.

Showcasing our sector

Today, third sector governance is a subject never far from the news. Yet we know that the headlines don’t tell the whole story.

That’s why our awards are exclusively dedicated to charity governance. By shining a spotlight on the best of the sector, we want to demonstrate how effective governance can transform a charity and even more of the lives of its beneficiaries.

It’s an idea backed by trustees too: our research* shows 89% of trustees and managers actively welcome an event recognising charity governance.

Raise your profile and win £5,000

The awards are easy to enter online, with six categories covering every kind of charitable organisation.

There’s no expensive entry fee or gala dinner tickets to pay for. It’s simply a no-charge opportunity to share your charity’s work and win £5,000 to help you do more of it. Due to interest in the awards, and requests for more time to complete applications, the deadline has been extended to 23.59 Monday 25th January 2016. 

Short-listed entrants will also get a complimentary invitation to our awards event in London on 12th May 2016, where the winners will be announced.
