Fundraising Ireland is seeking nominations for its 2015 National Awards for Excellence
in Fundraising. There are categories for individuals, fundraising teams and corporate
partners.

The 12 award categories have been refreshed this year to include digital, volunteer,
innovative fundraising, events, legacy and other specialisms. The awards are designed
to “recognise exceptional achievement in the fundraising community and the winners

Campaign, Big Idea Small Budget, Best Use of Events and Professional Fundraiser 
of the Year will be put forward for nomination to the [Global Fundraising Awards](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/2013/03/09/2013-dogooder-video-awards-open-entries/)
