OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

We are committed to putting you first. We pledge to serve you in the following ways:

Safeguarding Your Interests
We will not enter into an agreement, trust, contract, or other indenture with any financial agency that would not meet outlined standards by federal and provincial guidelines.

Serving You to Accomplish Your Goals
Our planned giving personnel are available to assist you with your charitable giving objectives. Compassion staff will be pleased to offer gift information strategies for your review.

Not Accepting Payment for Services
Compassion staff are salaried or volunteer and do not receive any incentives for their work. They do not accept cash, honoraria or other gifts. Such gestures are appreciated and will be directed to the ministry.

Your Right to Privacy
We respect your right to privacy. All information given is kept in strict confidence. This includes all personal identification, addresses, estate and beneficiary data. Compassion does not release any personal information.

Achieving Your Goals
All deferred gifts are invested in low risk instruments and follow the guidelines established by Compassion's board of directors.

Punctual Income Payments
We ensure all life-income payments are punctual and sent to you or your beneficiaries. We will report income and issue charitable tax receipts in accordance with Canada Revenue Agency regulations.
