Volunteers
Our core values are the key principles that guide our conduct and our relationships. They define how we engage with each other and community members, how we deliver value, and how we behave. They connect us to each other and make our successes possible. Each volunteer is accountable for aligning their conduct with our values to achieve the mission of the Sherrod Foundation Inc.

Valuing Our Volunteers
The advantage of the Sherrod Foundation resides in our volunteers and their experience, energy, and creativity. Our volunteers are a diverse, talented and motivated group of people aligned to a common mission. We consider it a business imperative to build, celebrate and nurture a corporate culture that is inclusive, rewarding and fulfilling for each individual. We treat everyone with dignity and respect. We conduct our communications across all levels of our volunteers and staff in an open and honest manner.
Valuing Our Donors
The Sherrod Foundation understands that some donors are hesitant to give money to a charity that doesn't clearly explain how their donation will be spent. They also want to know what impact is made in the community. The Sherrod Foundation Inc. has principles that govern its commitment to integrity, transparency, and ethical behavior. We believe that donors have a right to know these things before making a donation. Our website makes clear what our mission is, its impact on the community and our position on donor rights. You can read the details about our Donor Bill of Rights using the button below.
Interacting With The Community
Our community-focused culture is vital to our success. We are committed to earning and maintaining the trust of our community through fair, honest, and lawful dealings and by delivering exceptional value. We listen to our program participants so that we can meet their personal requirements. We provide them with knowledge and tools to enhance their lives and enable their success. We provide timely responses and resolve problems, assuming responsibility for correcting the underlying cause.
