365 Fundraising Truisms #280 The Donor Bill of Rights (https://lnkd.in/d48aJwn) was created by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), and the Giving Institute. The Donor Bill of Rights states that “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 the not-for-profit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have these rights”. Over the next ten days, each of the ten rights will be shared. Check out more fundraising knowledge on the web at www.5toolfundraiser.com and the YouTube Channel at https://lnkd.in/g_EhTacW.
