| Our Donor Rights
Policy governs all activities with our supporters and we are pleased to
share it.
We believe 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 CUC, we declare that all donors shall have the following rights:
1. To be informed of CUC's mission, of the way the organization intends
to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively
for their intended purposes.
.
2. To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization's
governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment
in its stewardship responsibilities.
3. To have access to the organization's most recent audited financial
statements.
4. To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they
are given and CUC meets all stated financial conditions and donor policies
established for the gift.
5. To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition.
6. To be assured that information about their donations is handled with
respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
7. To expect that all relationships with individuals representing CUC
to the donor will be professional in nature.
8. To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees
of the organization or hired solicitors.
9. To have the opportunity for their gift to be anonymous.

prompt truthful and forthright answers.
