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
