The Fundraising Regulator has worked with the Institute of Fundraising to produce 6 briefings on GDPR. These “bitesize” guides are designed to be as accessible and as relevant as possible for fundraisers.
This briefing focuses on charitable trust fundraising and what GDPR means for practice in these areas.
How fundraisers approaching households are expected to behave. It includes:
1. approaching households respectfully;
2. the time of day that fundraisers may knock; and
3. fundraisers' responsibilities regarding no-cold-calling zones and door stickers.
The aim of our 2016-18 Business Plan is to establish and deliver, in the public interest, fair, robust, values-led regulation to ensure that good practice in fundraising is promoted and upheld throughout the sector.
