Fundraising Ethics

Veterinarians without Borders places a high value on our relationship with our donors. Without your support we would not be able to achieve our mission to work for, and with communities in need to foster the health of animals, people and the environments that sustain us. 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 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 call (250-590-3340) or email us (info@vwb-vsf.ca) to request a copy of our financial statements. You can also download the Ethical Code itself by going to www.imaginecanada.ca.
