Accountability
Responsible fundraising
How we ask matters as much as what we do with it.
All commitments
What you will never see from us
- Exaggerated claims
- Manufactured urgency
- Manipulative guilt
- Fear-based appeals
- Misleading statistics
- Unverified success stories
- Exploitative photographs
- Claims that a given donation guarantees a specific outcome
What we will do instead
- Explain the real need
- Explain how donations are used
- Show evidence of impact
- Explain our limitations
- Report challenges honestly
- Respect donors and participants equally
This page states our commitments. The signed policy document still needs board approval and upload — do not describe it as published until that is done.
