Good News: 2013 Gold Awards for Fundraising Excellence Deadline Extended!

Still scrambling to get in your submissions for FundRaising Success' eighth annual Gold Awards for Fundraising Excellence? Well then we've got some good news for you. Thanks to numerous calls and requests from nonprofits and their agency partners alike asking for an extension to get their materials in — we've decided to give you all a little more time.

The deadline has now been extended to Sept. 9. Note, that is the delivery cutoff, not the postmark. Any submissions that come in after that will not be eligible. Furthermore, this is the one and only extension we can offer, since our judging takes place shortly after and our deadline for the October issue — in which the winners are unveiled — follows right after.

So get your submissions in ASAP. You can click here for the entry form, tracking sheet and additional information.
