EFCC Policies & Practices

Our commitment to high standards of character and ethical behaviour.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES

We’re committed to high standards of character and ethical behaviour. Making these explicit is part of good leadership.

The EFCC is a federally-incorporated charity, and has earned an accredited member of the Canadian Council of Christian Charities (CCCC), which demonstrates that we comply with their highly rigorous standards of accounting and exhibits our strong commitment to integrity.

The following policies and practices documents are further commitments to integrity.

  • INVESTMENT POLICY

    There is a standard of care that is imposed on the directors and officers of a charity which affects the actions and activities of individuals who govern the affairs of the charity. The standard of care also addresses the extent to which the directors of a charity may delegate their responsibilities. One area of delegation involves the investment of a charity’s funds. It is prudent for the board of directors of a charity to have an investment policy and a monitoring system to oversee the implementation of such a policy.

  • GIFT ACCEPTANCE POLICY

    This policy serves as a guideline for the EFCC staff, missionaries, board members, volunteers, outside advisers who assist in the gift planning and solicitation process, and prospective donors who wish to make gifts to the EFCC of unrestricted, restricted and endowment funds. This Gift Acceptance Policy is intended only as a guide and allows for flexibility on a case-by-case basis.

  • PRIVACY POLICY

    At the Evangelical Free Church of Canada (EFCC) we understand that privacy is a vital issue for our constituents. This privacy policy outlines our principles and procedures regarding the confidentiality and security of constituent personal information. Some of our services require the collection, use and disclosure of some personal information about our constituents, protecting their personal information is one of our highest legal and ethical priorities.
