Howard Lake | 10 October 2012 | News

The winners of the inaugural Blackbaud Digital Fundraising Awards, held in association with UK Fundraising, were announced yesterday evening at a ceremony in London.

Winners in nine different categories were first shortlisted by a judging panel consisting of Sylwia Presley, Steve Bridger and Ross McCulloch, chaired by UK Fundraising editor Howard Lake. A public vote, which saw almost 8,000 votes cast, was then held to determine the winners.

The awards were launched to highlight and reward the most exciting, innovative and effective use of digital in fundraising in the UK. The awards were presented to those who used digital tools and channels creatively and, most importantly, effectively for fundraising.

Winners at Blackbaud Digital Fundraising Awards 2012

Martin Campbell, Director of Innovation and Strategy, Blackbaud Europe, congratulated the winners and finalists of the Digital Fundraising Awards. “It is not about doing something that looks wonderful but delivers little”, he said, “and good digital campaigns must be results-focused and integrated with an overall brand. Our winners have all done that and fully deserve their recognition.”
