Welcome to the Chapel & York International Fundraising Awards, the new and exciting initiative from The Home of International Fundraising and Philanthropy.

2024 awards

Celebrating success and good practice

Our awards celebrate success and good practice by organisations fundraising internationally. Open globally to both Chapel & York clients and organisations around the world, these prestigious Awards recognise and celebrate excellence achieved by charities, non-profits, educational institutions, INGO’s and others who fundraise from donors outside their country.

Our rigorous judging process involves an independent panel of experts for each category, with three finalists chosen to compete in each.

We recognise those fundraisers who produce the best results in the international fundraising world, often under time and financial constraints. Our entries are fully scrutinised and independently and rigorously judged, making winning an award a tremendous achievement.

Entries are sought across 5 categories each designed to recognise and showcase the outstanding achievements of organisations worldwide.

Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to be recognised as a thought leader and innovator in global fundraising. Join us and submit your entry today!

Increase organisation awareness

Category finalists will receive a “Finalist” logo for use on their media, while category winners will receive a physical award to exhibit, a digital “Winner” logo for display, and a video from the judges describing why they were chosen, which they can highlight and share on their media channels.

Education

This award is designed to recognise the efforts of educational institutions who have gone the extra mile to create meaningful and successful international fundraising campaigns.

Useful Information

Criteria
The criteria which the judges will use in reviewing your entry (in the context of your organisation, its size, its age, its programmes, its location) are:

Financial Success (i.e. did you reach your monetary goal)
Involvement Rate (did you reach your goal for involving the numbers of international stakeholders you wanted)
ROI
Innovation/Creativity (sometimes numbers are not the best measure of success and this criteria judges how you addressed your situation in international fundraising)

The intent of the criteria is to give you a basis under which the judges will look at entries but it is your overall work which will be judged.

We welcome your submissions and there is no charge for entry.
