In addition, once again, the winners of the Insight in Fundraising Awards will be shortlisted for the Institute of Fundraising’s National Awards for the Best Use of Insight category. This award will be presented at the IoF National Awards gala dinner on 2 July.
The awards ceremony and gala dinner, in association with REaD Group, take place on 20 June at central London’s stunning Royal Institute of British Architects. Tickets can now be booked online.
Nick Mason, Insight SIG chair, said:
“Yet again we have had another incredible raft of entries with extremely high standards across all categories, and it is wonderful to see such a range of innovative and inspiring uses of data and insight in fundraising. In particular we were delighted to see that innovation can flourish despite – and in some cases because of – GDPR. Sadly, it is impossible for every entry to win but the judges, as ever, were impressed by the quality of the work submitted. We are all looking forward to congratulating the winners at the awards ceremony on 20 June.”
