Donor Bill of Rights

Each nonprofit organization holds a public trust to improve the quality of life. Likewise, philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. 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, JAZZ 91.9 WCLK accepts several guiding principles that all donors have the right to:

  •  Be informed of JAZZ 91.9 WCLK's mission, of the way the JAZZ 91.9 WCLK intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes

  •  Be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization or hired solicitors.
