The first annual fundraising awards in Ireland are now open for nominations. Presented
by The Wheel and Fundraising Ireland, in association with the Vodafone Ireland Foundation,
the awards aim to recognise exceptional achievement in Ireland’s fundraising community.

The Fundraiser of the Year Award will be offered to the fundraising professional
who, in the view of their colleagues or peers, has shown consistent excellence and
best practice in achieving high quality fundraising through either their own efforts
or their vision and strategy.

The Best Community Fundraiser Award is for any volunteer who has made a major contribution
to fundraising, over a long period, for one or more organisations.
