Congratulations Joe!

On Monday the 2nd of July our founder and driver of ideas, Joe Saxton, won the Lifetime Contribution Award at the 20th annual Institute of Fundraising National Awards. We at nfpSynergy know how hard Joe works and it is wonderful to see him be recognised for his efforts.

Joe began his career in the third sector at the age of 14, when he raised £2,000 to ‘Save the Whales’ by selling sandwiches after school. From there he worked his way up by fundraising for Oxfam, directing communications for RNID, and chairing several organisations. When Joe founded nfpSynergy in 2000 there was nothing else like it, and he continues to push boundaries and use his vision and enthusiasm to improve the sector. Joe is a great leader for the third sector and is truly deserving of the 2012 Institute of Fundraising’s Lifetime Contribution Award.

Congratulations Joe! From everyone at nfpSynergy, we are very proud.
