St. Vincent’s Foundation is entirely reliant on voluntary support. We are committed to treating every donor and fundraiser with the highest level of care and respect. You matter to us.
We assure every donor of our integrity and accountability and you can expect the following:

- Our audited accounts, detailing income and expenditure, are made publicly available on our website. Copies are also available, on request, by post and email.
- Funds that are restricted at the request of the donor will be allocated to the specified, or nearest, area of work. If we envisage that this will not be feasible, we will do our utmost to communicate with you so that you are happy with the way we allocate your donation. We reserve the right to decline to accept a donation where we feel any restriction is not aligned to our ongoing work.
- Every donation is important t us and we will send a written receipt within one week of receiving a contribution, provided that donor contact details are provided.
- To be assured that all donations will be handled respectfully and will remain confidential if this is the donor’s wish, subject only to any legal constraints.
