Fundraiser of the Year Awards
The Multiple System Atrophy Trust is launching the Fundraiser of the Year awards to celebrate and recognise the incredible fundraising efforts undertaken by our members each year. The MSA Trust relies entirely on voluntary donations, with a third of our income coming from event fundraising alone. Every year, hundreds of our members—those living with MSA, along with their families, friends, and colleagues—come together to organise events like fun runs, coffee mornings, skydives, golf days, raffles, and choir evenings. They also participate in treks, marathons, swims, cycle rides, and countless other innovative and exciting fundraisers. Nominate your fundraiser of the year here.
Without the support, dedication, and creativity of our fundraisers, we would be unable to continue our vital work supporting those affected by MSA or to fund our research projects aimed at finding a cause and cure. We invite our members to nominate friends, family, or colleagues who have organised a fundraiser during 2024 for our Fundraiser of the Year award. If you believe their fundraiser has been particularly successful, impactful, or innovative, we encourage you to submit a nomination.
Eligibility
To be eligible for the Fundraiser of the Year award:
- The nominated individual or group must have completed their fundraising event in 2024.
- You must fill out the attached form to submit a nomination.
- We will announce the winner and share their fundraising story in our magazine, on our website, and across our social media platforms. Therefore, nominees should be comfortable with having their story and photos shared publicly.

We will be opening nominations from the 18/12/24 and closing on 31/01/25.
How to nominate a fundraiser
To nominate a fundraiser for the awards, simply complete the attached nomination form and submit it by the specified deadline. Be sure to include details about the fundraiser’s event and why you believe they deserve to be recognised.
Self- nominations will be accepted.
How the winner will be chosen
The winner of the Fundraiser of the Year award will be chosen based on the impact, creativity, and success of their fundraising efforts. A panel of judges from the MSA Trust will review all nominations and select the winner who best exemplifies outstanding dedication and innovation in their fundraising activities.
The winner will be announced on the 10th of February 2025.
Promotion and publicity
We will promote and publicise the Fundraiser of the Year awards, the winner and all nominees across our website, social media, newsletter, and magazine. This will help showcase the incredible efforts of our fundraisers to our members and celebrate their achievements.
The award
The winner of the 2024 Fundraiser of the Year Award will win a gift voucher, a trophy and will also have a double paged spread in our Spring addition of MSA News.
