The Public Fundraising Regulatory Association will be known as the Public Fundraising Association from 1 September.
The PFRA announced it will continue to be known by its existing acronym, and carry out its existing functions as before, but the change aims to provide extra clarity to the sector and the public.
Chief executive Peter Hills-Jones said removing ‘regulatory’ from the organisation’s title is in line with its aim to ensure there is no confusion about who it represents or what it does.
“During our consultation with both charities and agencies, it became increasingly clear that compliance is something our members want delivered jointly by ourselves and the IoF, with regulation overseen separately by an effective and truly independent body. This name change provides a step in the right direction toward some much needed clarity.”
