Melanie May | 23 April 2018 | News
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.
Chair of the judging panel, Howard Lake, said: “Thank you to the judges who have successfully selected shining examples of excellent fundraising by individuals and organisations. It’s a tough choice but worth it given the inspiration these winning entries can give to many fundraisers”.
