the reason of our existence would not be possible.
Donors are vital to the strength and growth of The Michael Coss Brain
Injury Foundation. As a donor, you may be assured that we will honor your

Donor Bill of Rights
Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is
a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life.
To ensure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general
public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence
in the nonprofit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we
declare that all donors have these rights:
I. 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.
II. To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization's
governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment
in its stewardship responsibilities.
III. To have access to the organization's most recent financial statements.
IV. To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which
they were given.
V. To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition.
VI. To be assured that information about their donation is handled with
respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
VII. To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations
of interest to the donor will be professional in nature.
VIII. To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers,
employees of the organization or hired solicitors.
IX. To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing
lists that an organization may intend to share.
X. To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive
prompt, truthful and forthright answers.
