In early 2011, admittingfailure.com was launched. The website is a space for charities to share their mistakes and lessons learned.
This site and those who support it are attempting to create a best practice of openness, transparency and honesty. Site developers have sent a bold challenge to charities across Canada and around the world: stop fearing failure, start innovating, and start an honest conversation about mistakes.

The Salvation Army believes that transparency and accountability is essential to its success. They are members of Imagine Canada’s Ethical Code Program. The Code represents a set of standards to help manage and report charitable activities responsibly. By adhering to these standards, The Salvation Army is complying with generally accepted practices for soliciting and managing donor dollars.

Will admittingfailure.com promote vibrant dialogue and help donors better understand and support the work they fund?
