A complaint about misleading fundraising: the R family
Mr and Mrs R’s son is a member of a local charitable sports club. The club asked Mr and Mrs R to raise £800 so they could send a team to a sporting event. But Mr and Mrs R thought this amount was more than they needed.
Mr U complained to a charity because he thought they were making exaggerated statements in one of their campaigns. He wasn’t satisfied with their response.
Mr Z entered a charity’s lottery and won a one-of-a-kind item but found that the certificate of authenticity had a laser printed signature. He said this could reduce the value of the item and felt he was misled into entering the lottery.
Mr W used an online giving platform to organise a race to raise money for a town in Africa. His intention was to organise the race every year until the local people could organise it instead.
He agreed with a charity that the money raised would be given to them, and that the charity would then pass money to him each year as needed. But he’s now in a disagreement with the charity about what should happen to the money raised.
Guidance for fundraising platforms: 5 focus areas for donor transparency
The Fundraising Regulator analysed information provided to donors across eighteen well-known platforms. This guidance represents the minimum standard of information we would expect to see for donors to be able to make an informed decision to donate.
We investigate complaints about fundraising where these cannot be resolved by the organisations themselves. We deal with complaints about fundraising in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and fundraising in Scotland where it is carried out by charities registered primarily with the Charity Commission for England and Wales or the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.
