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 donations is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.

To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organisation or hired solicitors.
To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organisation may intend to share.
To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers.
