Celebrating Fundraising Excellence with FIA Victoria

Towards the end of last week, we had the pleasure of attending the Fundraising Institute of Australia (FIA) Victoria End of Year Celebration and Awards Night. It was such a great evening connecting with many familiar faces across the sector and celebrating the incredible work achieved throughout the year.

As the proud State Sponsor of FIA Victoria, this event is always a real highlight for us. It’s a chance to spend time with our clients, candidates and networks, and to come together to recognise the impact of fundraising across Victoria and beyond.

A huge congratulations to all the Victorian finalists, and to those recognised nationally as well. The quality of work and leadership across the sector continues to impress us year after year.

See here for a full list of all finalists and state winners.

National winners will be announced at the FIA Conference in February 2026, and we are really looking forward to it. Gembridge is proud to be sponsoring the Leadership and Emerging Issues track, as well as the Fundraiser of the Year award for 2026. We cannot wait to hear about the winners and celebrate with everyone at the Conference Gala Awards Dinner.
