What are Fundraising Standards?
By becoming members of the Fundraising Standards Board scheme, members are committing to adhere to the Institute of Fundraising’s Codes of Fundraising Practice and the Fundraising Standards Board’s Fundraising Promise.
The Codes of Fundraising Practice
The Institute of Fundraising’s Codes of Fundraising Practice represent the standards set for fundraisers in the UK. Each Code covers a separate fundraising technique, providing practical guidance and legal advice, and information on how to ensure and safeguard excellence.
The Codes of Fundraising Practice can be viewed in full on the Institute of Fundraising website.
The Fundraising Promise
The Fundraising Standards Board’s Fundraising Promise is a commitment made to the public by members of the Fundraising Standards Board’s scheme. It has been compiled in consultation with fundraisers and the public and is based on six key pledges that centre on respect, honesty, accountability and transparency. The Fundraising Promise represents a commitment to the highest standards of good practice, and to ensuring that all fundraising activities are open, legal and fair.
