IDPE is the UK's leading schools’ development membership organisation and a registered charity. Established in 1999 we now support the majority of state and independent schools who are actively fundraising and who are involved with fundraising from alumni and parents. IDPE's e-bulletin is a monthly round-up of the latest news relevant to schools’ fundraising and alumni relations. Anyone can sign up to our e-bulletin. The IDPE endeavours to keep members up-to-date with relevant news from the education and charitable sectors, and news stories are selected based on their relevance. The views, thoughts and opinions expressed in these articles do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of IDPE.
