DONOR’S BILL OF RIGHTS

Because every gift deserves respect, and every donor matters.

At the Community Outreach Center we believe our donors are partners in the mission. Whether you give $5 or $5,000, your generosity deserves transparency, gratitude, and integrity. We couldn’t carry out our mission without you. You have the right to:

• Be Informed
  Know our mission, how your donation will be used, and our ability to use it wisely.

  Access our most recent financial statements and reports.
  Know if the people requesting donations are volunteers, staff, or professionals.

• Protect Your Privacy
  Trust that your personal information will be kept confidential.
  Ask to be removed from mailing lists at any time — we won’t sell or share your info.
• Be Respected and Appreciated
  Be treated with gratitude, professionalism, and kindness.
  Never feel pressured to give more than you’re comfortable with.
