New Fundraising Excellence Award for cultural and heritage sectors
Howard Lake | 8 July 2016 | News
This year’s Arts & Business Scotland Awards include a new category for Fundraising Excellence, to recognise outstanding fundraisers in the cultural and heritage sectors.
The Fundraising Excellence Award will recognise an individual or team which has “made a significant contribution to the fundraising efforts of an arts, cultural or heritage organisation in Scotland”.
The award is open fundraising professionals, volunteers or board members who have either:
- run a specific fundraising initiative which has generated significant support for a particular organisation, or
- have shown consistent excellence and best practice through their actions, leadership and intellect.
Nominations for all the categories in the 30th Arts & Business Scotland Annual Awards are now open.
Arts & Business Scotland’s Chief Executive David Watt said:
“Not only are we searching for the most innovative and creative partnerships from the business and cultural sectors but this year we are seeking to recognise a fundraiser or team of fundraisers which has outperformed others in the cultural and heritage sectors.”
