The Awards are for not-for-profit organisations, social enterprises, or other entities involved in social and environmental impact projects or services in Karachi, Dhabeji and Gharo in Sindh, and Uthal, Vinder and Bela in Balochistan. Social enterprises and other entities need to demonstrate a clear commitment to social impact. Foundations associated with a business and CSR arms of companies are not eligible to apply.

The mandatory documents required include the financial statements pertaining to the organisation, project budget and other details asked in the form, registration documents (Tax certificate, Form A or Form 29), Memorandum (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA), and a copy of the last paid KE Bill.

• You can apply for the KHI Awards through the application form link:
• You may download the form at https://keweb-dev-keweb.azurewebsites.net/assets/uploads/2021/12/KHI-AWARDS-2-Offline-Application-Form.docx, fill it manually and mail it to the Awards Office at KE House, 39-B Sunset Boulevard, DHA Phase II, Karachi.

More than one Award is available within each category. Award amounts within a category can differ.

The Award amount granted is dependent on the Jury’s decision. The actual amount disbursed during the one-year grant will be dependent on the organisation’s meeting the milestones for the project and will be provided in cash against the organisations’s electricity bills determined in the MoU.

The project template is a set of slides (Microsoft Office Powerpoint Presentation) that will be shared with the jury. It is meant to present a compact summary of the project. Content from the application form can be reused and placed in the project template.

The entire KHI Awards process including selection of winner and disbursement of the Award amount is audited by an independent third party. This is done to ensure transparency and adherence to high ethical standards. Therefore, if the organisation’s financial statements are not audited, they should be complete and include total and net assets of the organisation, and deficit/surplus of income over expenditure for the year.

MoUs will be signed with winning organisations that will include all expectations to meet Award disbursement requirements. Communication will be done with the POC identified in the applicant form. The winning organisation shall provide required information and documentation in support of the expenditure incurred in relation to the project and/or organisation, which will be required to assess proper and transparent utilization of the Award amount. The above process will be led by an independent auditor at quarterly intervals, or as defined by KE management.

The project submitted in the application must be based in KE’s service territory, even if the organisation is not.

You can only apply for one category per project. Therefore, be very sure of what category the project falls in. However, as an organisation with multiple projects, you can apply for a maximum of two separate categories for two separate projects.

KE will have the branding rights to brand the project and the organisation will be required to recognize and endorse KE as sponsors of the project in all external communication and brand collaterals.

For any additional queries, please feel free to email awards@ke.com.pk.

Yes, your organisation must be registered and the proof of registration should be attached in the mandatory documents as required. The only exception provided is in the case of startups (organisations less than a year old).<
