2011 Gold Awards for Fundraising Excellence Deadline Is July 8

By Joe Boland

With the 4th of July weekend on deck, now is the time to get your entries in for FundRaising Success' annual Gold Awards for Fundraising Excellence. We absolutely love going through some of the most successful campaigns from the past year to learn what new insights, strategies, creative and tests are working in today's fundraising environment and passing that along to you, our readers.

We've received a bevy of entries already, and with the deadline fast-approaching — Friday, July 8! — it's time to send in your entries. Winners will be announced in the September issue of the magazine.

The categories this year are:

Direct Mail (paper or e-mail)
Multichannel (any combination of channels)
On the Edge (mobile, face to face, guerilla and anything else that doesn't fit nicely in the other two categories)

Entry fees are $125 for the first submission and $75 for each subsequent submission from each agency or nonprofit. Click here for an entry form and tracking sheet, and check out last year's winners here.

If you have any questions, please e-mail Editor-in-Chief Margaret Battistelli at mbattistelli@napco.com.
