Insight in Fundraising Awards - Most powerful insight using visualisation or dashboarding

Standard Content

This award recognises the most compelling use of data visualisation to drive impact in fundraising. Whether delivered through BI dashboarding tools, Excel reports, custom visuals, or storytelling presentations, this category celebrates the ability to turn complex data into clear, engaging insight that informs strategy, inspires stakeholders, and supports better decision-making.

Criteria - Entries should show how data was presented clearly and effectively, with strong design and usability. The insight should tell a story or communicate a message in a way that helped others understand and take action. Judges will be looking for real examples of how your visualisation influenced decisions, supported strategy, or made a difference to your organisation in the last 12 months. Any tool can be used — what matters most is the clarity of communication and the impact it had.
