Support Volunteerism Through Your Financial Contribution
Building homes, delivering meals to seniors, or playing basketball with a group of disadvantaged kids…all of these volunteer activities have helped to make the Twin Cities a better place to live since Hands On Twin Cities was founded in 1919. Every day, regardless of what is happening around the world, volunteers here at home are working hard to address pressing needs and make a positive difference in our communities.
The work of Hands On Twin Cities is critical in meeting the challenges that face our communities. We can't do it without your help. The need for local investment has never been greater and being a part of positive, productive action has never been more rewarding.

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, we declare that all
donors have these rights:

To be
informed of the organization's
mission, of the way the organization
intends to use donated resources,
and of its capacity to use donations
effectively for their intended
purposes.
-
To be
informed of the identity of those
serving on the organization's
governing board, and to expect the
board to exercise prudent judgment
in its stewardship responsibilities.
-
To
have access to the organization's
most recent financial statements.
-
To be
assured their gifts will be used for
the purposes for which they were
given.
-
To
receive appropriate acknowledgment
and recognition.
-
To be
assured that information about their
donations is handled with respect
and with confidentiality to the
extent provided by law.
-
To
expect that all relationships with
individuals representing
organizations of interest to the
donor will be professional in
nature.
-
To be
informed whether those seeking
donations are volunteers, employees
of the organization or hired
solicitors.
-
To
have the opportunity for their names
to be deleted from mailing lists
that an organization may intend to
share.

To
feel free to ask questions when
making a donation and to receive
prompt, truthful and forthright
