Online fundraising site JustGiving is seeking nominations for its JustGiving Awards
2012. They are free to enter and open to anyone who has used JustGiving to fundraise
and every charity that is registered on the site. That could be any of the 380,000
fundraisers and 8,000 charities who have used the site to raise over £200 million
over the past year.

The Awards are now in their third year, and the 13 categories include Most Popular
Fundraiser, Endurance Fundraiser of the Year, Most Creative Charity of the Year,
and Best New Charity.

There are three new award categories to enter, reflecting JustGiving’s latest tools
and services. These are the Mobile Fundraiser of the Year Award for individuals 
or charities who have used the JustTextGiving service to successfully raise funds;
the Best Use of Technology Award for developers who have used JustGiving’s technology
like its API to build new ways to help charities and individuals raise even more
money; and the Workplace Fundraiser of the Year Award which recognises organisations
or a group of employees who have used JustGiving’s new Company Fundraising tool.
