The aim of the FABO Awards is to celebrate and publicly appreciate the contributions made by people who spend their time working behind the scenes of not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises, working in finance, administration, IT and human resources.

Judges selected 40 finalists in nine categories from over 200 nominees, more than expected for the FABO’s inaugural year.

All nominees and finalists will be recognised at the FABO Gala Dinner Celebration, on 18 October in Sydney.
