# Institute to update its Fundraising through Electronic Media code of practice - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2010/06/22/institute-update-its-fundraising-through-electronic-media-code-practice/ - Published: 2010-06-22T07:03:24+01:00 - Author: Howard Lake The Institute of Fundraising is to update its ‘Fundraising through Electronic Media’ Code of Fundraising Practice and is inviting those interested to become part of the working party. The Institute is keen to to revise and expand its guidance so that the new Code reflect progress in the use of digital media in recent years. Members of the working party should have experience of fundraising through electronic media; a commitment to best practice; suggestions of how the Code can be expanded to apply to all relevant areas of electronic media; an awareness of legal requirements; and an awareness of best practice in electronic media outside of fundraising. ## Advertisement It is anticipated that the working party will meet approximately four times from August to November, with further work completed by members in between meetings. Caroline Howe, Policy and Codes of Practice Manager at the Institute of Fundraising, said: “In recent years the use of electronic media has exploded. It is now very much part of the mainstream, and an integral part of many charities’ fundraising strategies. As such it’s only right that the Institute keeps pace by updating the Code which covers this area.” Expressions of interest to join the working party should be received by the Institute by 30 July 2010. www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk/currentconsultations * **[Institute announces new trustees and Fellows](https://fundraising.co.uk/2010/07/12/institute-announces-new-trustees-and-fellows/)**( 12 July 2010) * **[And the winners are…](https://fundraising.co.uk/2010/07/12/and-winners-are/)**( 12 July 2010) * **[Daryl Upsall elected as” Fellow” of the Institute of Fundraising](https://fundraising.co.uk/2010/07/14/daryl-upsall-elected-as-fellow-institute-fundraising/)**( 14 July 2010)
