Fundraising Standards Board (FSB)

The Fundraising Standards Board (FSB) was an independent organization in the UK that set ethical guidelines and best practices for charitable fundraising. Its role was to ensure charities conducted fundraising transparently, responsibly, and with respect for donors. The FSB provided a professional standard for how charities should interact with the public, helping to build trust and accountability. Although it was dissolved in 2016, its principles continue through other regulatory bodies, emphasizing the importance of honest, respectful, and ethical fundraising practices in the nonprofit sector.
