Telephone fundraising

If you have supporters who have given you permission to call them, then you can make phone calls with specific appeals for funding.

• As part of a strategy of building relationships with your supporters to increase their donations
• If you can set up the process of taking payments online
• If you think your target supporters will prefer it to methods or it will get through to them better

• Make sure you train the people making the calls carefully.
• Use the Institute of Fundraising guide to make a plan.
• Follow the Code of Fundraising practice. A new version of the Code will come into effect in November 2025.
