## About the Fundraising Code of Practice

The Fundraising Code of Practice was originally developed over a number of years
by the Institute of Fundraising, with voluntary input from many of its members. 
It was [transferred to the Fundraising Regulator](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/07/07/new-fundraising-regulator-takes-today/)
when it took over its regulatory role in July 2016. Its predecessor the Fundraising
Standards Board did not have responsibility for the Code.

The Code began life as a series of individual codes covering different methods of
fundraising, with new ones being added regularly, such as a code for [outdoor fundraising events](https://fundraising.co.uk/2004/02/16/new-code-practice-outdoor-fundraising-events/)(
2004), [workplace giving](https://fundraising.co.uk/2004/09/03/new-code-practice-workplace-giving/)(
2004), and [major donor fundraising](https://fundraising.co.uk/2005/07/17/draft-major-donor-code-practice-published/)(
2005) with each of them being periodically revised. In 2012 these were [consolidated into a single code](https://fundraising.co.uk/2012/11/13/institute-fundraising-publishes-unified-code-practice/).

The Fundraising Regulator announced a [consultation on changes to the Code of Fundraising Practice](https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/02/03/fundraising-regulator-consult-changes-code-fundraising-practice/)
in February 2017.

## Questions answered
