The Institute of Fundraising is seeking further responses to its new draft electronic
fundraising code of practice, following a very poor level of interest to date.
The
Institute of Fundraising released its revised Code of Practice on ‘Fundraising through
Electronic Media’ (formerly ‘Internet Fundraising’) for comment from fundraisers
and interested parties on 27 July 2005. The number of responses to date so far has
been very small.

The draft code was put together, with support from the Institute, by a small group
of volunteers including UK Fundraising’s Howard Lake. It is designed to offer fundraisers
guidance and suggestions for best practice in the rapidly changing world of digital
or new media fundraising.

At today’s sell-out new media fundraising conference organised by the Institute 
there was little evidence of interest: only one delegate admitted that they had 
read the draft.

So, assuming the volunteer group hasn’t created a perfect document, now is your 
chance to add your thoughts and expertise to this code. The consultation period 
runs until 21 October 2005.
