Declaración de derechos del donante
La filantropía se basa en la acción voluntaria por el bien común. Es una tradición de dar y compartir que es fundamental para la calidad de vida. Para garantizar que la filantropía merezca el respeto y la confianza del público en general y que los donantes y los posibles donantes puedan tener plena confianza en las organizaciones sin fines de lucro y las causas que deben apoyar, declaramos que todos los donantes tienen estos derechos:
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.
To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization or hired solicitors.
To have access to the organization’s most recent financial statements.
To receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition.
To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization may intend to share.
To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature.
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.
To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
To be assured that information about their donation is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers.
