Gift Acceptance Policies

In this Sector Insight, charity law specialist Gavin McEwan will explore gift acceptance policies.

Charity law says that donations can, and should, only be refused in exceptional circumstances. Sometimes there are very valid reasons why your organisation may not want or be able to accept a gift. This session will explore the sometimes-tricky conundrum of gift acceptance.

What will you learn?

This Sector Insight will discuss:

  • The importance of having a gift acceptance policy
  • Different approaches to gift acceptance policies
  • How to implement and use gift acceptance policies
Who is it for?

This session is for people working in fundraising within their organisations who would like to know more about gift acceptance.
