Fundraising that is contrary to public
policy will include:
Failure to comply with legislation or
public pronouncement (ex: misleading
solicitations that are contrary to
consumer protection, i.e. Competition
Act)
Results in incontestable harm to public
interest (ex: contract agreements between
charities and third party
fundraisers where there is misrepresentation
to the public about whether donations go
to charitable purpose or to pay for fundraising)
e.g., failing to disclose that 70% or
more of funds raised goes to third
party fundraising
