NWCI Donor Charter

Here at NWCI, we pledge to treat all of our donors with respect, honesty and openness.

We have created this donor charter in compliance with the Statement of Guiding Principles for Fundraising and we commit to being accountable and transparent so that all of our supporters can have full confidence in our work at National Women’s Council of Ireland.

It is our commitment to you, our donors and prospective donors, that:

  • We will keep you informed of our organisation’s mission, and of the way the organisation intends to use donated resources.
  • You will be informed of the identity of those serving on the organisation’s governing board, and that the board will exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
  • You will have access to the organisation’s most recent financial statements.
  • You are assured that your gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
  • You shall receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition.
  • You will be assured that information about your donation is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent the law provides.
  • You can expect that all relationships with individuals representing the organisation will be dealt with professionally.
  • You will be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organisation or hired third party agents.
  • The agreed procedures for making and responding to complaints will be easily available.
  • You will have the opportunity for any names to be deleted from mailing lists and to be informed if the organisation intends to share mailing lists with third parties.
  • You will receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers to questions you might have about the organisation.

If you do have a comment about any aspect of our work, you can contact NWCI in writing or by telephone. In the first instance, your comment will be dealt with by our Head of Policy. Please give us as much information as possible and let us know how you would like us to respond, providing relevant contact details.
