Welcome to the Fundraising Standards Board
Welcome to the Fundraising Standards Board. We offer the public a ‘mark of reassurance’ to look for when giving to charities in the future and handle public complaints about how our members’ raise money.
Over 950 charities, including most of the UK's biggest, have already joined the scheme, membership of which is voluntary, and in doing so have agreed to adhere to a strict set of codes and a Fundraising Promise committing them to treat the public with respect, fairness, honesty and clarity in all their money raising activities. They must also sign up to an independent, robust and transparent complaints process. Membership will be visible to the public through the addition of our logo (a tick) on their fundraising materials.
We’re here to help you give with confidence, so the next time you put money in a tin, sponsor someone to run a marathon or receive a mailshot in the post, look for the tick – it’s your mark of reassurance.
We represent an important commitment by charities to ensure that the public can continue to give with confidence to a sector that last year raised £8.9 billion for its good work.
