Veterinarian Conservation Coalition may exercise its right under law to contribute to both 501(c)(3) and non 501 (c)(3) organizations only on the condition that Veterinarian Conservation Coalition retains control over the use of the funds and maintaining records showing that the funds are used for exclusively charitable purposes in accordance with our mission.
Acceptance of any contribution, gift or grant is at the discretion of the Veterinary Conservation Coalition. The Veterinary Conservation Coalition will not accept any gift unless it can be used or expended consistently with the purpose and mission of the Veterinary Conservation Coalition.
No irrevocable gift, whether outright or life-income in character, will be accepted if under any reasonable set of circumstances the gift would jeopardize the donor’s financial security.
The Veterinary Conservation Coalition will refrain from providing advice about the tax or other treatment of gifts and will encourage donors to seek guidance from their own professional advisers to assist them in the process of making their donation.
The Veterinary Conservation Coalition will provide acknowledgments to donors meeting tax requirements for property received by the charity as a gift. However, except for gifts of cash and publicly traded securities, no value shall be ascribed to any receipt or other form of substantiation of a gift received by Veterinary Conservation Coalition.
The Veterinary Conservation Coalition will respect the intent of the donor relating to gifts for restricted purposes and those relating to the desire to remain anonymous. With respect to anonymous gifts, the Veterinary Conservation Coalition will restrict information about the donor to only those staff members with a need to know.
The Veterinary Conservation Coalition will not compensate, whether through commissions, finders' fees, or other means, any third party for directing a gift or a donor to the Veterinary Conservation Coalition.
