Fundraising Disclosure

Anam Cara is open about whether those seeking donations on their behalf are volunteers, employees of the organisation or are third party agents.

Anyone fundraising on behalf of Anam Cara must ensure that prospective donors are aware of their status, i.e. volunteers, employees or third party agents.

Note: If or when a member of the public enquiries about the employment standing of a fundraiser they must receive an honest and open answer.
