Philanthropy is based
on voluntary action for the common good. It is a
tradition of giving and sharing that is primary
to the quality of life. To ensure that
philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the
general public, and that donors and prospective
donors can have full confidence in the nonprofit
organizations and causes they are asked to
support, we declare that all donors have these
rights:
I. To be informed of
the organization's mission, of the way the
organization intends to use donated resources,
and of its capacity to use donations effectively
for their intended purposes.
II. To be informed of the identity of those
serving on the organization's governing board,
and to expect the board to exercise prudent
judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
III. To have access to the organization's most
recent financial statements.
IV. To be assured their gifts will be used for
the purposes for which they were given.
V. To receive appropriate acknowledgement and
recognition.
VI. To be assured that information about their
donation is handled with respect and with
confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
VII. To expect that all relationships with
individuals representing organizations of
interest to the donor will be professional in
nature.
VIII. To be informed whether those seeking
donations are volunteers, employees of the
organization or hired solicitors.
IX. To have the opportunity for their names to
be deleted from mailing lists that an
organization may intend to share.
X. To feel free to ask questions when making a
donation and to receive prompt, truthful and
forthright answers.
