As a sponsor and partner with the Institute in the awards, UK Fundraising is delighted
to produce this blog to give you more news and information on this year’s awards.

As well as this introduction, which will explain the reasons behind the awards, 
what the categories are and how you can enter them, UK Fundraising will be publishing
regular reminders of the closing date for entries (2 March 2007) and after the judging
will be profiling the shortlisted fundraisers, campaigns and organisations.

After the awards we hope to bring you interviews with some of the winners and analysis
of the best of the campaigns.

The Institute of Fundraising champions best practice in fundraising – and what better
way to do that than by celebrating the outstanding achievements of some of the sector’s
many fundraisers, teams and organisations.

The winners will represent a huge variety of campaigns and causes from the breadth
of the voluntary sector.

There is another reason for encouraging as many of you as possible to enter your
best campaigns and fundraisers in the Awards.

The Institute would like to build a ‘library’ of best practice case studies as a
fantastic source of information for charities to learn what has been achieved and
how. We hope that entries to the awards will form the core of this resource so that
everyone can benefit from your experiences – with your permission, of course.

So, put your thinking caps on, your computer connected to [www.nationalfundraisingawards.org.uk](http://www.nationalfundraisingawards.org.uk)
and fill in that form! Closing date is 2 March.

Winners will be presented with their awards at the Institute of Fundraising National
Convention on Monday 9 July at the Hilton London Metropole with an audience of over
700 key fundraising practitioners and suppliers.
