With the door closed on 2023, we are looking back at the Top 30 Fundraisers of the year!
These fundraisers have all accomplished amazing things in the fundraising space, and we are excited to celebrate all of their accomplishments. We have seen the entire Tiltify community come together and accomplish incredible things while raising funds for amazing causes such as St. Jude, World Central Kitchen, Make-A-Wish, The Immune Deficiency Foundation, and many others.
This annual celebration of our Top 30 Fundraisers is one of our favorite moments to review, recognize and celebrate those incredible fundraisers. Their fundraising and generous communities make jaw-dropping impact on the world around them. Candidly, it is also a difficult list to compile as there are teams, communities and companies that crush goals and create so much good through their efforts. You astonish us every year with your creativity. Additional shoutouts for those that may not have appeared on this list are endlessly forthcoming on our social media and blog. We see you and thank you for being amazing.
We also want to take this time to share the top 300 fundraiser recognition badge! If you were among the top 300 fundraisers on Tiltify for 2023, keep an eye on the bell notifications on your dashboard for the instructions indicating how to claim your physical pin (learn more about the Recognition Program on the official blog).
Now, let the countdown begin! Between January 15 and February 13, we’ll be featuring each of these top fundraisers and fundraising moments. Check them out below and give them some love on our social channels!
Now without further ado, let’s dive into this list!
