A BIG Thanks to Our Donors

Without funding from any of the three levels of government, community support is vital to the success of our campaign and all the more reason why we are so very proud to recognize the following individuals, families, businesses, organizations and groups for their financial support.
  • Donor Bill of Rights

    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 Ontario Finnish Resthome Association and Foundation, we declare that all donors have these rights:


     • To be informed of the OFRA’s mission, of the way the OFRA 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 OFRA’s governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.


     • To have access to the OFRA’s most recent financial statements.


     • To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given. 


     • To receive appropriate acknowledgement 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 the OFRA of interest to the donor will be professional in nature. 


     • To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the OFRA or hired solicitors.


     • To have the opportunity for donors names to be deleted from mailing lists that the OFRA may intend to share. 


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