Video: Watch Irish fundraiser, Jonathan Irwin collecting his Global Fundraiser Award

05 January 2012

Back in October of 2011, Jonathan Irwin CEO and founder of the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation picked up the individual Global Fundraiser Award at the International Fundraising Congress (IFC) for raising over €30m since founding the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation in 1997.

Jonathan was nominated for this prestigious global award by Fundraising Ireland, as a result of winning National Fundraiser of the Year at the Irish Fundraising Awards in June, 2011.

Organised and run by the Resource Alliance, the NGO Awards and Global Awards recognise and celebrate outstanding achievement in fundraising whilst setting aspirational standards and sharing best practice on a global scale.

The Global Awards 2011 took place at the International Fundraising Congress (IFC) on Wednesday 19 October 2011. All IFC delegates where invited to attend the spectacular Global Awards dinner and be part of this global celebration of fundraising excellence. Check out the higlights of The Global Fundraising Awards below.

The history of the Global Awards

• The first awards programme was launched in 2004, in the Asia Pacific region and has since expanded to include the Global Awards (first awarded at the IFC in 2010) and the India NGO Awards, with the Uganda and Thailand NGO Awards being launched towards the end
  of 2011.
• The NGO Awards celebrate and reward the best non-governmental and non-profit organisations by showcasing examples of best practice and successful resource mobilisation.
• The Global Awards is the first international awards programme endorsed and supported by national fundraising associations from around the globe, who nominate the winners of national awards to compete against one another to be recognised with a Global Award. Global Awards winners are selected for their inspirational contribution to fundraising, and we are proud to welcome the best of the best of the world's fundraisers to the Awards ceremony which takes place at the International Fundraising Congress (IFC) 2011.
