Deadline: 10 March 2014
Institute of Fundraising is accepting nominations for the National Awards 2014. Fundraising is defined as any gift made under Gift Aid, Payroll deduction, or any other form of personal charitable tax relief scheme, or which would have been eligible for such relief had the donor been a tax payer. It can be a gift made by an organization which itself has charitable status, any income from sponsorship or any gifts made by businesses and other corporate bodies where no significant consideration has been made by the charity in return for the gift. Staff time, professional services, equipment, facilities are all considered as gift.
Any payment, grant or other receipt from Government, or an Agency of Government, where the ultimate source of the funds is the Treasury or revenue generated by the Agency in the course of carrying out its duties; and commercial transactions with other organizations whether for-profit or not-for-profit, other than sponsorship are not counted as fundraising.
