The important question: How does ARC Foundation ensure donations and legacies are used properly? 

Through external audits and annual certification by independent auditors. Furthermore, ARC Foundation has been a member of the Comité de la Charte du Don en Confiance (the French Responsible Giving Charter Committee) since 1999. This accreditation, awarded by a non-profit organisation, is an essential guarantee in France for safeguarding donors' and legacy donors' contributions. Since that date, the Foundation has successfully renewed its accreditation every year.
