Fundraising Magazine asks who are the 50 most influential in fundraising
Howard Lake | 7 May 2014 | News
Fundraising Magazine has opened polling in its annual 50 Most Influential Poll to find out whom its readers consider are the most influential people in fundraising in the UK.
Between now and 6 June, readers can vote on the people who have most influenced or inspired them in their fundraising in the past year.
Past winners have included fundraising directors, consultants and donors. Mark Astarita, Director of Fundraising at the British Red Cross and Chair of the Institute of Fundraising, has been voted top for the past two years.

Last year 300 people voted, proposing 348 names.
Fundraising Magazine acknowledges that the annual poll is “a bit of fun”. Yet it provides a fascinating snapshot, albeit far form representative of the sector, of part of the fundraising sector and the sources that people claim have an influence on their fundraising.
The results of the 50 Most Influential Poll will be announced in the July issue of Fundraising Magazine.
