Welcome to the Fundraising Standards Board
Give donors the confidence to give - get the tick
The Fundraising Standards Board was set up in 2006 to implement and oversee a transparent self-regulatory scheme for fundraising in the UK. We exist to encourage high standards in fundraising and to increase public confidence in charitable giving. Charities that join the scheme will use our scheme logo to demonstrate their committment and this is underpinned by a robust and accessible complaints procedure for members of the public should they have a problem.
We hope to create a positive climate of giving that benefits fundraisers and the public alike. This will enable organisations to make a real difference in the work that they do, for all the good causes they support.
We have just released our first piece of donor research entitled 'Signed, Sealed & Delivered' which investigates the publics views on the use of direct mail by charities. The results of this research will be fed back to the Institute of Fundraising's consultation on their new codes of practice for direct mail.
