To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
To receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition.
To be assured that information about their donation is handled with respect and confidentiality.
To expect that all relationships with individuals representing the organization will be professional in nature.
To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees, or hired solicitors.
To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists.
To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful, and forthright answers.
