• Any information from or about donors that is obtained by or on behalf of Canadian Feed The Children is to be handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent allowed by law.
• Donors have the right to remain anonymous.
• All fundraising appeals by or on behalf of Canadian Feed The Children are to disclose Canadian Feed The Children’s legal name, its status as a registered charity, and the purpose for which funds are requested.
• All members of the public, including donors and prospective donors, are entitled to one copy of the following, on request and at no charge other than the cost of reproduction and distribution:
  • Canadian Feed The Children’s most recent annual report and/or audited financial statements;
  • A list of the names of the members of Board of Directors.
• Donors and prospective donors are entitled to know, upon request, whether the individual asking for funds is a volunteer, a staff person or a service provider.
