Be Recognized for Your Innovative Work
Apply for a Nonprofit Innovation & Optimization Award
At the Nonprofit Innovation & Optimization Summit, we’re building an ever-growing community of innovative marketers and fundraisers. This year, we want to recognize the innovative work being done in nonprofit marketing and fundraising in 5 categories:
Donor Acquisition
Recurring Giving
Social Media Fundraising
Web Traffic Growth
Year-End Fundraising
If selected, you will win:
- A free ticket to NIO Summit 2017
- An invitation to the invite-only 2018 Nonprofit Innovation Circle event in Cancun, MX
- Steep discounts on NIO Summit tickets for your colleagues ($495 per ticket)
To apply for a NIO Award, simply fill out the form below with your contact info and a brief description of your innovative campaign.
Remember, it’s not always about results – it’s about learnings. If you learned something significant about your donors from trying a new idea, you should still apply even if it didn’t get the largest result.
Apply for a NIO Award by June 30th to be recognized for your innovative marketing and fundraising accomplishments.

*If your campaign is selected as a finalist, we’ll reach out to get more details about your tactics, examples of your creative, and specific performance metrics.
