When is a consultant a ‘professional fundraiser’?
Submitted by johnbaguley on 17 February, 2008 - 21:25.
No jokes today - the Institute of Fundraising is just launching its Code of Practice for Consultants, which expertly sets out just when a consultant becomes a ‘professional fundraiser’ under the new Charities Act. See www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk.
The code also tackles difficult questions such as; just what a consultant / professional fundraiser must do during a personal ‘ask’.
To my mind, as a consultant, this is required reading; and I hope it will also be read by my clients and prospective clients. It’s not often you can say that about a code of practice!
How many consultants does it take to change a lightbulb? Hmm must be in the code somewhere...

How many consultants does it take to change a lightbulb?
Oh, come on John, everyone knows that the
answer is, of course, four.
One to help the client write the brief.
One to assist in preparing and handling the tender document.
One to handle replies, queries and evaluate the responses, advising on who to award the contract to. And.................
One to change the bulb acting on behalf of the main contractor.
