Imagine Canada's Ethical Code - What Does it Mean?

As the world's largest, independent child's rights organization, Save the Children holds itself accountable and recognises our duty to children, and to every individual and organization that supports our work. All of our progammes are evaluated, and we report on progress towards our aims and goals.

Save the Children places a high value on our relationship with our donors.  Without your support we would not be able to achieve our mission to make a difference in children's lives. We thank you for your commitment to us.

We believe that transparency and accountability are essential to our success.  With this in mind, we have recently joined Imagine Canada’s Ethical Code Program.

The Ethical Fundraising and Financial Accountability Code lays out a set of standards for charitable organizations to manage and report their financial affairs responsibly.  By adhering to these standards, we are complying with generally accepted practices for soliciting and managing donor dollars.  This is important because you, our supporters, are entitled to transparency and the greatest impact possible for your investment in us.

If you have any questions about our adherence to the Ethical Code, please feel free to contact David Spedding, Director of Philanthropy, by email or at 416-221-5501 ext 287.  More information on the Ethical Code can be found on the Imagine Canada website by clicking here.
