Ethical Fundraising Policy

This policy identifies the organisations stance on fundraising practices and documents the standards and rules the organisation follows.

Having an ethical fundraising policy helps the organisation in a number of ways:

• Builds trust - Ethical practices foster trust and confidence among donors and potential grantors, which is essential for long term support.
• Protects Reputation - Clear policies help protect the organisations reputation by ensuring all fundraising is conducted responsibly.
• Enhances Relationships - Respecting wishes and maintaining transparency strengthens relationships and encourages continued support.
• Legal Compliance - Ensuring compliance with legal requirements reduces the risk of any legal issues.
• Promotes Integrity - Upholding ethical standards reflects the organizations commitment to its mission and values.

This policy is used any time the organisation is fundraising, whether it's a short term drive or a general call for donation.
