Fundraising Awards 2007

The Institute of Fundraising Northern Ireland wish to formally recognise the contribution made both by professional fundraisers and volunteer fundraisers.  The Awards will be open to all fundraising organisations; charities, community groups, hospitals, schools etc. They recognise creativity and success in raising funds from the public, though events, trusts and companies. 

AWARD CATEGORIES

The Bryan Walliker Volunteer Fundraiser of the Year Award: Sadly last year we lost a pillar of the fundraising community, Bryan Walliker, who died following a long battle with cancer. To acknowledge Bryan’s commitment to the voluntary sector we have named this award in his memory.  It is open to any volunteer fundraiser who, in the view of the nominator, has made a sustained and exceptional contribution to fundraising.

Fundraising Event or Campaign of the Year: Open to any fundraising event or campaign that, in the view of the nominator, demonstrated creativity and success in fundraising.  Nominations could include events, direct mail campaigns, corporate relationships, or use of new media.  The nomination can relate to any size or scale of event/campaign.

Please complete all the details below and submit your nomination with your statement of support to Ciara Gallagher, c/o Mencap, 4 Annadale Avenue, Belfast BT7 3JH or by email to northernireland@institute-of-fundraising.org.uk.
