The Save Us Pets Foundation
greatly appreciates and respects the trust our
donors have in our organization and mission. We
subscribe to the following industry-accepted Donor’s
Bill of Rights:
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 assure that philanthropy
merits the respect and trust of the general public
and that donors and prospective donors can have
full confidence in the not-for-profit organizations
and causes they are asked to support, we declare
that all donors have the rights:
| |
1. |
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. |
| 2. |
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. |
| 3. |
To
have access to the organization's most recent
financial statements. |
| 4. |
To be assured their gifts
will be used for the purposes for which
they
were given. |
| 5. |
To receive appropriate
acknowledgement and recognition. |
| 6. |
To be assured that information
about their donations is handled with respect
and with confidentiality to the extent provided
by the law. |
| 7. |
To expect that all relationships
with individuals representing organizations
of interest to the donor will be professional
in nature. |
| 8. |
To be informed whether
those seeking donations are volunteers,
employees of the organization or hired solicitors. |
| 9. |
To have the opportunity
for their names to be deleted from mailing
lists that an organization may intend to
share. |
| 10. |
To feel free
to ask questions when making a donation and
to receive prompt, truthful and forthright
answers. |
