Here are the efforts our judges chose as the best of 2006 in the FS 2007 Gold Awards for Fundraising Excellence.

By Abny Santicola and Margaret Battistelli

A 5.25-inch-by-8-inch, matte-finish, six-panel brochure on malnutrition features the striking, branded black-and-red MSF color scheme and is laid out like a news bulletin, showing riveting black-and-white photographs of malnourished children with headlines like “Niger: Battle Between Life and Death,” with updates on MSF work in Niger, Sahiba and Amin. The brochure also describes the process for treating children suffering from malnutrition and features a pie chart that shows how MSF distributes donated funds.
