On 16 October 2006, twenty-four countries approved the International Statement of Ethical Principles in Fundraising
This historic moment marks the occasion of the first formal document governing fundraising activity worldwide, and the culmination of four years of international dialogue. The meeting was the fourth International Summit, commencing in Toronto in 2003 and concluding in Noordwijkerhout in the Netherlands in 2006. It is the purpose of this Statement of Ethical Principles to foster the growth of a worldwide fundraising community.
Fundraisers work in many varied fields, countries and circumstances, but they share several fundamental values and practices: they work to make the difference, help others and save what is valuable, in fact to make the world a better place. It is for these reasons that fundraisers strive to identify and employ best practices."
