New CAF workshop programme announced
15 August 2006
CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) is launching its Autumn/Winter
2006 workshop programme. Running from October 2006 to February
2007, the workshops will help charities discover ways to manage
their resources more effectively and attract new donors to their
cause.
Taking place at venues across the country, these interactive
workshops use a combination of formal presentations, group work,
role play and personalised action plans to equip charities with the
skills they need to raise and manage funds.
Tax-efficient giving made easy
£100 full day workshop including lunch
New research from CAF shows that last year £8.2bn was donated to
charities, but only a third of that was given
tax-efficiently. This workshop enables charities to maximise
the value of every gift they receive by understanding Gift Aid,
payroll giving, legacies and share giving.

payroll giving agency – of the £90m donated last year through the
payroll, £60m was donated through Give As You Earn. As well

will discuss the Government’s Grant Scheme for small to
medium-sized enterprises to get involved in payroll giving.

Give As You Earn – getting into companies
£100 full day workshop including lunch
Research from CAF last year showed charities are missing out on
£1.4bn in donations because people who want to give direct from
their pay do not have access to Give As You Earn. Suitable for
fundraisers who already have some knowledge of payroll giving, this
workshop offers advice on how to research and target companies,
tailor promotions and secure support form employees.

growing methods of donating. Suitable for charities with
little or no web experience, this workshop shows charities how to
generate support online, and provides each delegate with a
personalised action plan on how to exploit this valuable source of
income.

Regular giving

regular givers.

Notes to editors
Established in 1974, CAF is the not-for-profit organisation
which is committed to effective giving, both in the UK and
internationally. Our work spans the full breadth of the
charitable sector, wherever we feel we can make a positive
difference to the level and impact of giving.
CAF promotes effective giving. For individuals, we make donating
to the causes they care about simple and tax efficient. For
businesses, we can support every aspect of their community
involvement. And for charities, our services can help them make the
most of what is given.
