The Institute of Fundraising is about to introduce new features to its website offering
interactive services to its membership for the first time.
The first new service
will be an online discussion forum that will act as a “professional development 
centre” for fundraisers. Part of Careerbank, the Institute’s professional development
initiative, the forum will be open both to the Institute’s members and to non-members.

The Institute says that the forum will enable “fundraisers to ‘meet’ online and 
discuss the fundraising profession and their own career progression.

Other new features include a news section on the site, allowing members for the 
first time to “access up-to-the-minute information on what is going on at the Institute
and our various work streams.” To date, the site has not featured any clearly designated
news page, with comments and reports on issues such as the Buse Commission, the 
Charities Bill, and the response to the tsunami appeals appearing on different parts
of the front page.

In March the Institute will launch its first dedicated website for its National 
Convention.

The Institute of Fundraising first published its website in 2000.
