Contracts and Agreements

Any relationship between a charity and a Professional Fundraising Organisation or a commercial supplier must be governed by a written contract (Part II, Charities Acts 1992, 1993).

The Institute provides several standard forms of agreement as templates that can be tailored to your individual purposes. Your organisation's legal advisers should approve all contracts specific to your organisation.

Informal advice can also be sought from the Institute's legal helpline, run by Bircham Dyson Bell.

If you are an Institute member and have your membership number to hand telephone 020 7170 0345 and ask for the Institute's legal helpline.
