Gift Aid forum launched

Posted in News on the October 31st, 2008

A new online resource has been launched for those working in the charity sector, it has been revealed.

The Institute of Fundraising (IoF) has created a forum aimed at helping those small and medium-sized third sector groups that benefit from Gift Aid.

On the portal, charities will be able to get in touch with a range of professional fundraisers and specialists who can advise on using Gift Aid and making use of other tax-effective forms of donation.

In addition, visitors to the forum will be encouraged to share their own experiences of fundraising and examples of best practice.

Such news may be of interest to those charities looking to maintain sustainable efficiencies.

Lee Grant, tax-effective giving project manager for IoF, said: "It is intended to complement the tax-effective giving resources already provided by the institute to encourage small and medium charities in making best use of the full range of tax reliefs."

Earlier this week, Tony Elischer, managing director of Think Consulting Solutions, reported that despite the economic crisis it is important for fundraisers to ensure that their budgets are not cut as their activities are "the lifeline" of many charities.
