Share their story
The key to a good nomination is the fundraiser’s inspiring story. When nominating someone, answer these questions as part of your submission:
- What inspired them to start fundraising?
- What makes their story stand out from the crowd?
- Do they have a personal connection to the cause?
- What does your charity’s mission mean to them?
Emphasise impact
Talk about the impact the fundraiser made, in terms of…
- The people they helped

- The difference they made for your cause
Link us to their page
Don’t forget to include a link to the fundraiser’s JustGiving page (or pages, if they’ve got multiple)! We’ll check it out it to learn more about them and the impact they’ve made.
PRO TIP: How to find your top fundraisers. If you’re not sure who to nominate, you can search up your top fundraisers in your JustGiving Reports (requires JustGiving’s Grow Plan). See who raised the most money for you.
