Four associations, including AFP, AHP, CASE, and the Giving Institute, developed A DONOR BILL OF RIGHTS to strengthen the confidence donors have in nonprofit organizations.
These rights include the right to be informed of the organization's mission, of the way the organization intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes; To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization's governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgement in its stewardship responsibilities; and To have access to the organization's most recent financial statements.

There are ten rights in total. More in a later Blog.
