Pledge
on Donor's Rights:
As a mission community, called by God, Christian
Organizations seek to glorify God through social service, evangelism,
discipleship and preaching of the Word. As a part of the Body of
Christ, Christian Organizations work alongside with local churches
for the fulfillment of the Great Commission. In financial operation
and ministry development, Christian Organizations should have effective
management, and be accountable to their boards and the Church. To
encourage donor's continuous support to respective organizations,
the Hong Kong Association of Christian Organizations Ltd. encourages
our members to upgrade our quality services through this Pledge
on Donor's Rights.
We recognize every donor
has the following rights:
1. Be informed of the organization's mission and
the way of using the donated resources.
2. Be informed of the identity of members who are
serving on the organization's governing board/executive body and
to expect the governing board/executive body to exercise prudent
judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
3. Be assured that their donations are handled legally.
4. Be assured that their donations will be used
for the designated purposes.
5. Receive official donation receipt within a short
period.
6. May apply for access to the organization's latest
auditors' report, upon legitimate reason.
7. Be informed whether those who are seeking donations
are volunteers, staff of the organization or hired agents.
8. Expect that those who are seeking donations will
have a polite and honest manner.
9. Be assured that their privacy will be well protected
if requested.
10. Feel free to ask appropriate questions regarding
a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers.
¡#§#Remember
this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give,
not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.¡#¨#
2 Corinthians 9:6-7
