Gold, Silver and Bronze awards were presented with Macmillan Cancer Support, UNICEF UK, Save the Children UK, Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, Brain Research Trust, RSPB and Wood for Trees amongst those winning Gold Awards (full list below).
The IoF Insight in Fundraising Awards is an initiative of the IoF Insight in Fundraising Special Interest Group (IoF Insight SIG). The awards reward best practice, innovation and the impact of harnessing data insight for great fundraising. This year’s event attracted a huge response with more than 50% more entries on 2013 and the ceremony was attended by 260 leading fundraisers and fundraising analysts.
Janet Snedden, chair of the IoF Insight SIG and CEO of analytics specialist, Metametrics, said, “The standard of entries was again extremely high this year, with strong competition for each category. The awards were very well deserved and we congratulate the winners who serve as an inspiration and guide to other charities looking to progress the use of supporter insight and analysis for improving fundraising performance. We are also pleased to partner again with the IoF’s National Awards, which will serve to promote the use of intelligent data-driven fundraising even further across the sector.”
At the ceremony, the shortlist was announced for the IoF National Awards 2014 – Best Use of Insight (full list below). The National Award celebrates and rewards the best examples of data insight in fundraising and the shortlist is made up of four Gold Award winners from the core discipline categories of the Insight in Fundraising Awards.
