Commercial Businesses & Not-For-Profit Companies

Commercial Businesses and Community Interest Companies (CICs) offering professional fundraising services to the charitable sector can apply for registration.

These are typically companies who are:

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

This would not include companies engaged in a promotional charitable venture whose primary purpose isn’t to offer fundraising services or products e.g. a bank offering a donation to charity as part of its account product services.
