The mission of Faith Legacy Foundation is to assist donors in the ethical stewardship of giving toward the ministries of Faith. It is our desire to function as a servant to the donor as was described by the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:17; "Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account."
Staff, volunteers, and other individuals engaged in fundraising-related activities for Faith Ministries are expected to maintain the highest standards of personal and professional ethics. Ethical behavior includes engaging in the spirit of teamwork; exhibiting respect for all of Faith’s ministries participating in those activities that are in the best interest of donors and the ministries mission; avoiding real and perceived conflicts of interest; monitoring and sharing information regarding use of gift funds; and holding confidential all donor personal and financial information in accordance with administrative policy, federal and Indiana state law, as well as sound donor relations practices.
In turn, the Faith Legacy Foundation assumes responsibility for offering appropriate direction and guidance, and maintaining a positive working environment. We therefore subscribe to the Donor Bill of Rights endorsed by the American Association of Fundraising Counsel (AAFRC), the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), and the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP).
Commitment to Confidentiality and Security of Donor Information
Faith Legacy Foundation values and honors the privacy of its financial partners by establishing an environment of trust and safety. Information about our ministry partners and prospective partners, including names and addresses, credit card information, beneficiaries, gifts amounts, and estate information, is kept strictly confidential by all authorized personnel, unless permission is obtained in writing from the donor to release such information. Such information shall be recorded and retained only for the private, business use of the organization.
Faith Legacy Foundation seeks to maintain appropriate measures to ensure the security of donor information, including the use of locked files, computer passwords, and by the regular shredding and disposal of unessential printed partner records. Names acquired through the Internet, or other public domains, are also protected from unsecured Web sites, including addresses, telephone, facsimiles, e-mail addresses, credit card data, other personal information, and dossier files.
