Catholic Charities exists because of the virtue of generosity. Without the compassion and generosity of so many, we could not carry out our holy mission to serve the poor, the vulnerable and the isolated here in the Archdiocese of Washington. Catholic Charities pledges the following to you, our donors and supporters:
We will acknowledge all donations and support
We will use all donations for the purposes for which they were given
We will provide accurate information on the use of donated resources and dollars
We welcome all questions from donors and answer all questions in a prompt and truthful manner
We will keep all donor information confidential
We will provide every donor the opportunity to have their names deleted from mailing lists
We will be open and transparent in our reporting of donations and resources
We will make financial reports available to donors, media and the public
We will remain vigilant and informed on the identity and backgrounds of all those who serve on our governing boards and hold those in decision-making positions to the highest standard
Catholic Charities abides by the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ Donor Bill of Rights to meet our standards of stewardship, ethics and organizational effectiveness.
