GDPR Guidance for Fundraisers

Fundraising Regulator and the Institute of Fundraising (IoF) released joint guidance on GDPR, which is based on questions charities have asked. Reviewed and co-badged by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the material draws on more detailed guidance to fully equip fundraisers ahead of the May 2018 deadline. The resource includes an overview of GDPR for charities and fundraisers, considers a range of fundraising methods, and identifies ways in which personal data is likely to be used in each case.
