 UCO Foundation Adopts Donor Bill of Rights The University of Central Oklahoma Foundation Board of
Trustees voted to formally adopt the internationally-recognized Donor Bill
of Rights, joining numerous philanthropic organizations world-wide in
endorsing the highest ethics and standards in fundraising. “We are proud of the respect and trust we have earned from
our donors by always exemplifying ethical practices and standards,” said
Anne Holzberlein, UCO Foundation president and vice president of Development
at UCO. “By formally adopting the Donor Bill of Rights, we
furthering our commitment to our donors, while aligning the UCO Foundation
with respected philanthropies throughout the world.” The Donor Bill of Rights
was created by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), the
Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), the Council for Advancement
and Support of Education (CASE), and the Giving Institute: Leading
Consultants to Non-Profits. The document asserts ten rights to which donors are entitled “to assure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the not-for-profit organizations and causes they are asked to support.”
