Fundraising in turbulent times: legal & regulatory changes you need to know

The majority of not-for-profits are finding it harder to raise funds as competition for resources intensifies. Traditional sources of income are under pressure – from the withdrawal of USAid and the reduction in UK aid, to a sharp drop in UK individual giving, particularly amongst young people.

As the global economy is thrown into chaos, further uncertainty looms. In this challenging environment, fundraising teams need to be aware of the opportunities and risks.

In this practical session hosted by Russell-Cooke, we looked at:

• Corporate fundraising: how to structure and protect your partnerships and sponsorships
• Changes to data protection law: how proposed reforms could affect your email marketing and supporter communications
• Updates to the Code of Fundraising Practice: new guidance on “modern fundraising methods”, including unstaffed collections and online platforms — what you need to do to stay compliant
