**The Institute of Fundraising has launched a new definitive guide for charity trustees–
The Trustees Guide to Fundraising. This new Guide, funded by the Institute’s tax-
effective giving initiative, includes updated and revised fundraising information
and details on trustee obligations. **

The Guide takes into account the recent changes in law as part of the Charities 
Act 2006, as well as the self-regulatory scheme for fundraising.

The Guide is in response to fundraisers need to ensure their trustees are fully 
engaged in the fundraising process – and contains significant detail on all the 
elements of fundraising which require the understanding of – and buy in from – trustees.
The Trustees Guide to Fundraising includes sections on:
– Trustee obligations– Sustainable
future planning– Fundraising techniques and principles– Tax-effective giving– Law,
ethics and fundraisingA limited number of free copies are available from the Institute
of Fundraising, with guides thereafter charged at a rate of £10 each for non-members
of the Institute of Fundraising, and £5 per copy for Institute of Fundraising members.
The Guide is also available to download from the [Institute of Fundraising](http://www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk.).
