Our 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.
To assure that
philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors
and prospective donors can have full confidence in Dads & Daughters and our
programs, we declare that all donors have these rights:
-
To be informed of
Dads & Daughters’ mission, of the way it intends to use donated resources, and
of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.
-
To be informed of the
identity of those serving on Dads & Daughters’ Board or Directors, and to
expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship
responsibilities.
-
To have access to the
Dads & Daughters’ most recent financial statements.
-
To be
assured that gifts to Dads & Daughters will be used for the purposes for which
they were given.
-
To receive
appropriate acknowledgment and recognition.
-
To be assured that
information about individual donations is handled with respect and with
confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
-
To expect that all
relationships with individuals representing Dads & Daughters’ operations or
programs that are of interest to the donor will be professional in nature.
-
To be informed
whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of Dads & Daughters
or hired solicitors.
-
To be assured that
any Dads & Daughter donors’ name will not be shared with any other
organization without the expressed permission of the donor.
-
To feel free to ask
questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and
forthright answers.

America the Beautiful
In 2004, Americans spent
$12.4 billion (yes, billion!) on cosmetic surgery. The real costs
of our obsession with youth, beauty and a slender physique are tallied in an
epidemic of eating disorders, complications and deaths from unnecessary
surgeries, exposure to dangerous toxins in cosmetics, and the equally toxic
effects on a generation of young people who are told–in some 40,000 media
messages a year–that unless you look like the supermodels and rock stars, you’re
not good enough for anyone to love. It’s a message too many of them are buying.
