Third party fundraising

This page is free to all

You have specific responsibilities when dealing with a third party (whether that be a corporate partner, commercial participator or specialist supplier).

You must ask yourself three main questions.

  1. Have you undertaken due diligence to make sure you are working with suitable organisations?
  2. Have you included safeguarding requirements in the contract or working agreement?
  3. To what extent are you prepared to engage with a third party that does not have such policies and procedures?

It’s the charity’s responsibility to make sure each of these organisations assures the charity that it has adequate safeguarding policies and procedures (this is a contractual obligation).
