The Institute of Fundraising is to develop a new Code of Fundraising Practice, outlining
best practice guidance for fundraising consultants.
The Code will cover client acquisition,
operational procedures, contracts and fees, confidentiality, legal and tax issues,
as well as ethical issues that may arise, including conflicts of interests such 
as consultants that represent rival charities.

The Institute inviting consultants, lawyers and charity fundraisers that work with
consultants to help develop this code by applying to join the working party. The
deadline for applications to join the Working Party is 14th October 2005.

The schema for the proposed Code has been published online at the Institute’s website.

The new Code will add to the Institute’s existing suite of over 20 Codes of Fundraising
Practice, published online or available in printed copy. The Codes are the best 
practice standards for UK fundraising. Each Code covers a separate fundraising technique
and provides not only information on relevant areas of the law but also the best
practice that the fundraising sector has set itself to ensure the highest standards.
