Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is fundamental 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 not-for-profit organizations and causes they are asked to support, the Low Cost IVF Foundation declares that all donors have these rights:

•  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 have access to the organization’s most recent financial statements.

•  to be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.

•  to receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition.

•  to feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers
