Funding and economy Public sector

SCVO's Policy Committee established an external working party in 1998 to consider issues associated with donated or fundraising income for charities in Scotland. This report is the result of the party's research and deliberations. The remit of the Donated Income Working Group, as it became known, was to: 1. Identify and measure the scale of donated income in Scotland; 2. Examine the role of donated income in the voluntary sector in Scotland; 3. Provide better information to the voluntary sector, politicians and the public sector about donated income; 4. Make recommendations to Government.
