The Professional Fundraising Magazine and Institute of Fundraising Awards are now open for entries. If you are a voluntary organisation, there is no charge to enter.
Over the past 13 years the awards have recognised success and innovation in all areas of fundraising by charities, theatres, hospitals, schools and all kinds of voluntary groups.
This year’s winning entries will be announced at a gala dinner at the Institute of Fundraising’s National Convention in London on 13 July.

Entry is free to nonprofit organisations, while agencies, consultants and others have to pay £95 + VAT.
Entries must refer to campaigns completed by 31 March 2005. They should be submitted on the 2005 official entry form. The judges will look for a clear demonstration that income and expenditure targets had been established before the campaign began, and that these targets had been attained or surpassed.
In addition, the judges will rate the entry on the campaign’s success or failure, its cost-effectiveness, creativity, use of best practice, and involvement (where applicable) of trustees, volunteers, beneficiaries and donors.
Award categories this year include:
- best direct mail campaign
- best new fundraiser
- best use of payroll giving
- best use of events/regional or local campaign of the year
- volunteer fundraiser of the year
- best face-to-face fundraising campaign
The deadline for entries is 5pm on Tuesday 3 May 2005.
