**John Grain Associates’ new website is offering free Tribute Giving creative templates

as design-ready Quark Express files or as Adobe Acrobat files (PDFs).

They have to designed to be easily adaptable and are copyright free “with no restrictions

Director **Claire Newton** explained why they had offered this service. “We have
created the templates to meet a genuine fundraising need,” she said. “From working
with a number of charities to increase their In-Memoriam income, it was apparent
that many organisations found the creative costs prohibitive. By offering these 
downloads completely free and with no obligation whatsoever, we hope to remove that
barrier for anyone interested in starting a Tribute Giving programme.”

As well as the templates, site visitors can also download a guide to Tribute Giving.
The company has also added links to a range of free alternative images that charities
can use to add to the templates.

Newton added: “The idea was inspired by the concept of shareware in the software
world, and as far as we know this is the first time that something like this has
been offered within our sector. We hope that people will take these templates, adapt
and improve them, and above all use them to help raise lots of additional income.”

John Grain Associates, an NCVO-approved consultancy, offers practical consultancy
support across a range of fundraising disciplines including strategy, individual
giving, supporter care, In-memoriam giving, and creativity and innovation.
