NZ Federation of Voluntary Welfare Organisations (NZFVWO),
The latest issue of the NZFVWO's New Dialogue publication focuses on the theme ‘trusting charities’.
Articles have been contributed by those who have first-hand experience and knowledge of charitable giving. All offer sound advice along with useful insight into how donors should decide to give how much to what cause, as well as what charities need to be more aware of.
It starts with an overview article from the Charities Commission, the one body tasked by Government to add clarity to the operations of NZ charities and whose vision is a strong charitable sector.
Two well-known charities speak out about their experiences with major fundraising efforts last year to encourage more informed and transparent giving.
Givealittle offers a new opportunity to give online, taking the guessing out of giving. In one place, donors can browse and choose a cause or be directed to it, see what others are saying and doing about it, how much they’re giving and then decide what to give themselves, at the same time knowing what proportion of their donation will go to the cause.
Payroll giving is a recent move to enable those who want to give, to do so out of their pay. We look at what this offers us anew, both as potential payroll givers and recipients.
Better accounting and presentation of charities’ financial results and activities also comes under the microscope.
