The Institute of Fundraising is giving charities the chance to pitch for up to £5,000 of funding at a Dragon's Den-style event at its National Convention in July.
Community Foundation Network chair Matthew Bowcock has admitted that his estimate of £1bn for how much the tax relief cap will cost charities, is based on a “very simple, high-level analysis, because we don’t have the details we need”.
The Community Foundation Network has produced figures suggesting that the tax relief cap will cost charities £1bn while only producing additional tax receipts for the government of £200m.
The government has said it will shortly issue a clarification note on the tax relief cap announced in the Budget and has also promised a full consultation on the policy.

Charitable-giving bank accounts could increase giving by £1bn 1

Introducing charitable-giving accounts into high street banks could increase giving by up to £1bn, the Philanthropy Review has suggested today.
The Philanthropy Review has issued a “call-to-action” to businesses, philanthropists and government to adopt proposals which it says will earn charities an additional £2bn by 2015.
The British public has the capacity to give more, but there is no consensus as to whether and what tax incentives can encourage more philanthropy, it was evident at a meeting of sector representatives in Westminster yesterday.
A fellowship of up to 1,000 local philanthropists will be encouraged and supported by a £750,000 grant from the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation.
