OUR DONOR PROMISE
In order to merit the trust and confidence of our donors, we pledge to adhere to the rigorous standards of gift stewardship developed by the Association of Fundraising Professionals, including the Donor Bill of Rights.

It has been endorsed by numerous organizations.
THE DONOR 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.
