ONLY SECOND CHATHAM-KENT CHARITY TO DO SO

The Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation of Chatham-Kent has been accepted into Imagine Canada’s Ethical Code Program, joining Big Brothers Big Sisters Chatham-Kent as the municipality’s only other member.

“At the Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation, we believe transparency and accountability are essential to our continued success,” says Art Stirling, Foundation Executive Director.  “We place a high value on our relationships with donors and sponsors because, without their support, we would not be able to achieve our objective of helping disabled children and youth in the community.”

The Ethical Fundraising and Financial Accountability Code lay out a set of standards for charitable organizations to manage and report their financial affairs responsibly.  By adhering to these standards, the charity is complying with generally accepted practices for soliciting and managing donor dollars.

The Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation was established in 2007 to raise awareness and funds in the community to support the Children’s Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent.  Its mandate is to bring greater stability to the Centre’s core programming and improve the accessibility and sustainability of enhanced programming required by our community’s children and their families.
