Gold Awards Time!

That’s why Gold Awards time is one of our favorite times of year around here. We get to peruse some of the most creative and compelling fundraising campaigns of the previous year, and it just deepens our gratitude for being able to be part of such a committed and compassionate industry.

The submission period for the 2014 Gold Awards for Fundraising Excellence is now officially open. Yay! It’s pretty similar to previous years, but we’ve added a new category: Peer-to-Peer. This year’s full lineup of categories is Direct Mail, Email, Multichannel, Telefundraising, Special Event, Peer-to-Peer, Website, Social-Media Mastery and On the Edge. You can find the entry forms here, more information on the awards here and a list of past winners here. Don’t forget, the deadline is Aug. 22, and in order for a campaign to be eligible, it must have taken place between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31 of 2013. The 2014 Gold Awards winners will be announced in the October issue of FundRaising Success.
