**The Fundraising Regulator has formally launched registration for commercial fundraising
businesses, Commercial Participators and Community Interest Companies (CICs) as 
part of its commitment to encouraging high standards across the fundraising community.**

The registration scheme is voluntary and the [Fundraising Regulator](https://www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk/)
is particularly keen to encourage the following third party organisations involved
in charitable fundraising to sign up:

 * Agencies offering telemarketing or face-to-face fundraising services
 * Direct marketing agencies
 * Online donation sites and fundraising platforms
 * Payroll giving services
 * Commercial clothing collectors
 * Companies exclusively offering fundraising products e.g. charity Christmas cards,
   affinity sites for purchases

Those that register will be invoiced according to their annual turnover, using the
same bandings that are applied for the fundraising levy.

Once registered, organisations will be able to use the ‘Registered With’ logo on
their fundraising materials to demonstrate their commitment to high fundraising 
standards, and to the Fundraising Regulator’s Fundraising Promise.

Third-party organisations can apply for registration using the [online form](https://www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk/registration/fundraising-agencies/)
on the Regulator’s site, and access details for the Registration Pack will be sent
out within seven working days of payment being processed. Organisations will also
appear on the Public Register once registered.
