| Employees who solicit
or receive funds on behalf of the United Way of Western Nebraska
shall adhere to the provisions of this Fundraising Practice Code
of Ethics. They will act with fairness, integrity and in accordance
with all applicable laws, as well as adhere to the provisions
of applicable professional codes of ethics, standards of practice,
etc. They will cease solicitation of a prospective donor who identifies
the solicitation as harassment or undue pressure and will disclose
immediately to the United Way of Western Nebraska an actual or
apparent conflict of interest. And finally, they will not accept
donations for the purposes that are inconsistent with the United
Way of Western Nebraska's objectives or mission. They will not
sell, rent or otherwise exchange the United Way of Western Nebraska's
donor list. The governing Board will be informed at least annually
of the number, type and disposition of complaints received from
donors or prospective donors about matters that are addressed
in this Fundraising Practices Code of Ethics. I promise to take to my job an attitude of being very careful
and exacting; to be willing to be trained for it; to bring to
it interest and attention. I realize that I may have assets that
my co-workers may not have and that I should use them to enrich
the project on which we are working together. I realize also that
I may lack assets that my co-workers have, but I will not let
this make me feel inadequate, but will endeavor to assist in developing
good teamwork.
I plan to find out how I can best serve the activity for which
I have volunteered and to offer as much as I am sure I can give,
but no more, I realize that I must live up to my promises and,
therefore, will be careful that my agreement is so simple and
clear that it cannot be misunderstood. I believe that my attitude
toward volunteer work should be professional. I believe that I
have an obligation to my work, and to those who direct it, as
well as to my colleagues and those for whom it is done, and the
public.
Being eager to contribute all that I can to human betterment,
I accept this code of ethics for volunteers as my code to be followed
carefully and cheerfully. |
