The Institute of Fundraising is inviting its members to apply to join its Standards
Committee to help set and promote the highest standards in fundraising. The Committee
identifies those elements of fundraising requiring Codes of Fundraising Practice,
and both facilitates and approves the development, revision and maintenance of the
Codes.

Members of the Committee commit to attend four meetings a year for an initial three-
year term. The Institute covers reasonable travel expenses.

To ensure that the Committee does not operate in a vacuum, representatives from 
the Office for Civil Society, Charity Commission, and the Fundraising Standards 
Board sit on the Committee as observers.

Stephen Pidgeon FInstF, Chair of the Standards Committee, said: “The strength of
our Standards Committee is its mix of senior fundraisers from different sized charities,
with some consultants. In order to ensure we can continue to define the best standards
critical to effective fundraising, we are looking for new committee members to join
us. It’s a hard-working committee but a lot of fun.”

Applications are required by 21 July 2011.
