The Business Charity Awards, which recognise the outstanding work done by the people and teams behind corporate and charity partnerships, have opened to entries for 2025.

The awards, which are run by Third Sector, cover 27 categories, spanning sector partnerships, teams and projects. 

One of those category winners will be selected to win the prestigious Business of the Year prize, which in 2024 was awarded to the supermarket chain Asda for its long-running awareness and fundraising partnership with two cancer charities. 

Organisations that enter in any category will also have the opportunity to enter a free category recognising a winning response to the cost-of-living crisis. 

The early-bird awards entry deadline is 9 January 2025 and the standard entry deadline is 13 February.

“The challenges that we face today – both as a sector and a society – are far too big and complex for anyone to solve on their own,” said Emily Burt, editor of Third Sector. 

“This makes it all the more important to celebrate the extraordinary things that charities and their partners achieve when they work together in meaningful ways. 

“We look forward to celebrating your successes at the Business Charity Awards.” 

The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square hotel on 8 May. 

The 2025 Business Charity Awards are sponsored by Ansvar.
