The Institute of Fundraising has launched [Trustees and Fundraising: A practical handbook](http://www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk/library/trustees-and-fundraising-a-practical-guide/)
in partnership with NCVO, Charities Finance Group, and ACEVO.

 

The publication can be downloaded free from the IoF’s site as a PDF and aims to 
help boards of trustees ensure they are fully aware of their legal duties and wider
responsibilities around fundraising.

It sets out the key questions that trustees should be thinking through, with practical
advice and case studies, and is designed to support both fundraisers and trustees
in working together to create a successful fundraising strategy that embeds the 
aims and values of the charity.

 

In addition to the handbook, the IoF has also produced a range of other [resources](http://www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk/guidance/research/trustees-and-fundraising/),
including an animation, PowerPoint slideshow, and a series of blogs.

The handbook was launched at the IoF Trustees and Fundraising Conference in London
on 10th October.

 

Earlier in October, the Charity Commission, Grant Thornton, and Zoe Amar Communications
also published a resource for trustees, focused on digital: [_Making Digital Work: 12 questions for trustees to consider_](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/10/06/new-digital-resource-charity-trustees-launched/).
