Seminar on Implementing the Guiding Principles for Fundraising January and March 2010

Seminar on Implementing the Guiding Principles for Fundraising

Dublin - January 26th 2010 

Cork - March 26th 2010

ICTR presented a seminar on Implementing the Statement of Guiding Principles for Fundraising as part of meeting the requirements of the Charities Act 2009 in relation to fundraising.  It took place on the morning of January 26th (10am - 1pm) in the Ashling Hotel, Parkgate Street, Dublin 8.

The Resource Materials for Implementing the Statement of Guiding Principles on fundraising were formally launched at a seminar presented by ICTR in The Imperial Hotel, Cork on Friday morning, March 26th 2010 (9:45am - 1pm).

This is an initiative funded by the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.

The Statement of Guiding Principles for Fundraising which was developed with fundraising practitioners and launched by ICTR in May 2008 sets out standards for fundraising practice in Ireland. In response to feedback received by ICTR during consultation with the sector prior to and following the development of the Statement, a set of web based resources has been developed which will be of practical help to organisations implementing the standards in the Statement.

The seminar presented an update on the Implementation phase of the project, outlined the resources which have been developed, and allowed time for consideration and discussion of the resources.
