People should be encouraged to take inflation into account when donating money to charitable organisations, it is believed.
The likes of direct debit donors could be asked by not-for-profit groups to increase the amount they give in line with the country's inflation rates, a study by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) and the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) suggests.
Charities must aim to maximise the donations they receive from members of the public, according to the NCVO''s head of research Karl Wilding.

Charities must aim to maximise the donations they receive from members of the public, according to the NCVO''s head of research Karl Wilding.
"Prompting people to make small increases to regular donations could make a significant difference to their fundraising efforts," he commented.
Those who opt to donate to charities through payroll giving might also be persuaded to address the issue of inflation when providing funds to charities, the NCVO/CAF report notes.
In related news, the NCVO recently revealed that BingoLotto proceeds have now been provided to 158 different charities.
