**The Institute of Fundraising has announced the shortlist for the National Fundraising
Awards 2018, featuring excellent fundraising from charities, agencies and individual
fundraisers.**

The awards were selected from entries by a range of experienced fundraisers and 
charity leaders. They recognised a mixture of outstanding achievements, inspiring
stories of dedication and success against the odds, and some particularly effective
collaborative working between charities, agencies and corporate partners.

The winners of the National Fundraising Awards will be announced on 2 July 2018 
at The Brewery, London.
