The Institute of Fundraising has launched a new code of fundraising practice called‘
Committed Giving in the Workplace’.

The new Code covers best practice and the law for all forms of committed giving 
within the workplace, namely payroll giving, direct debits and post tax ’round-up’
schemes where employees’ donations come from rounding

down/up the “odd pennies” from their pay. It therefore replaces the code of practice
on payroll giving.

Lindsay Boswell, Chief Executive of the Institute, said: “The development of this
Code represents the maturing of the Codes of Fundraising Practice. It goes further
than the Code of Fundraising practice, ‘Payroll Giving’, which it replaces by giving
comprehensive guidance on all forms of giving in the workplace. With the impending
advent of self-regulation, the Codes of Fundraising Practice will come under increasing
scrutiny and the further development of Codes of Fundraising Practice is crucial.”
