Fundraising Standards

Fundraising standards are guidelines and ethical practices that organizations follow to ensure honesty, transparency, and respect when seeking donations. They set expectations for how charities and non-profits communicate with donors, handle contributions, and demonstrate accountability. These standards help maintain public trust, prevent misleading tactics, and ensure resources are used effectively for the organization's intended purpose. Essentially, they provide a framework to ensure fundraising is conducted responsibly, ethically, and in ways that build confidence between organizations and donors.
