Fundraising Principles

Our promise to you

Sightsavers is committed to achieving the standards outlined in the Statement of Guiding Principles for Fundraising.

The statement provides Irish charities with good practice standards for fundraising. It was developed after extensive consultation with industry experts and stakeholders including charities, non-profit organisations, legal and financial advisors, donors and academics.

This process was lead by the ICTR (Irish Charities Tax Research Ltd) and supported by the Department of Justice and Equality.

Transparency

The statement aims to:

  • Improve the way charities in Ireland raise their funds.
  • Promote accountability and transparency among charities.
  • Provide clarity and assurances to donors about the organisation they support.
