Powerful charity coalition responds to Senate’s damning report on fundraising regulations
Media release
15 February 2019
The powerful coalition of peak bodies that has been calling on Governments to fix fundraising for years agrees with the Senate Select Committee’s Report into Charitable Fundraising in the 21st Century in its finding that the time to fix fundraising ‘was more than 20 years ago’.
The coalition acknowledges the work of the Committee and its recognition of the contributions of organisations within the charity sector to the inquiry ‘despite the number of previous inquiries examining the issue that have not borne results of any significance’. The Senate report very clearly finds the current fundraising regulations are an unworkable impost on Australia’s charities. The coalition supports the findings in the Senate fundraising report, but is concerned that they do not clearly identify a way forward.
