Donors and Supporters

Best practice for building relationships with your donors and supporters

Large donations are essential to the continuing work of many charities, but it is vital that these are obtained in a transparent and ethical manner.

Major donor and legacy donations are often the largest single donations that charities receive so it is important to follow the Codes of best practice to ensure the maximum benefit is achieved.

These Codes also provide best practice guidance and legal requirements on the acceptance and refusal of donations in a variety of situations.
