Donor Charter

Rambert is incredibly grateful to the many individuals, companies, trusts and grant makers for their generosity in supporting our work. Without them, our mission to support and give brilliant and daring people a platform to inspire others, and give them the power to change the world for the better, would not be possible. We are dedicated to treating donors with the highest level of care and respect, and we want our donors to feel valued and their experience of giving to Rambert to be a positive and rewarding one.

In accepting a donation from you we promise:

• To treat you with respect, honesty and understanding.

• To recognise and acknowledge your gift promptly.

• To be available if you need to talk to us about your gift or have any concerns or complaints.

• That your gift will go towards the area(s) that you wish to support. Where the gift is unrestricted, Rambert will decide where best to apply the donation.

• To keep donors updated on the impact of their philanthropy and provide progress reports and updates to donors on specific supported activity.

• To recognise and publicise donations in consultation with donors, and respect anonymity where requested.

• To be transparent, and to keep you informed, of the way we use your gift. If priorities change, we will discuss these with you first before proceeding.

• To be responsible with your data, ensuring we comply with Data Protection law. We will be transparent about what data we are collecting, where that data comes from and how we use your data.
