Institute of Fundraising launches fundraisers trustee campaign

The Institute of Fundraising has launched a campaign urging its members to volunteer on the boards of charities. This is in response to member feedback indicating that charity trustees often do not understand fundraising, and can be unrealistic in their expectations of fundraising staff.

According to the Institute, more fundraisers serving on trustee boards would not only ensure fellow fundraisers are supported, but also grow the individual's understanding of how boards of trustees think and work. It is a great opportunity for fundraisers to develop leadership and governance skills, whilst building on the capacity of a charity to raise funds.

For more information about the campaign please see the website of the Institute of Fundraising.
