About the Awards

The FIA Awards for Excellence in Fundraising are a key component of FIA’s commitment to champion best practice in fundraising.

The Awards recognise and showcase the outstanding initiative, innovation, effort and success of professional fundraisers, volunteers and organisations. They celebrate fundraisers’ hard work and successes across the year, provide an opportunity for acknowledgement by your peers, and promote the role of fundraising in improving our society.

Campaign award submissions went through the judging process at the end of 2022. This culminated in a celebration of finalists at year end events within each state and territory. The finalists were then submitted for further assessment by the National Judging Panel to determine the winners of the Most Outstanding Fundraising Project.

FIA fellow’s judged the Young Fundraiser of the Year, Volunteer of the Year and Fundraising Team of the Year submissions.

All of FIA’s winners were announced and celebrated at the fundraising sector’s night of nights on Thursday 23

February 2023, during FIA’s 46th Fundraising Conference in Melbourne.

All submitting organisations should be regarded as leaders in our profession. They represent the passion for the causes supported by each organisation and show their commitment to ethical, transparent and accountable fundraising.
