Donor Privacy Policy

Minnesota Alliance With Youth (“the Alliance”) is committed to respecting the privacy of our donors.  We have developed this privacy policy to ensure our donors that donor information will not be shared with any third party.

What information we collect

The Alliance collects and uses various pieces of information from persons donating to the organization.  This can include: amount donated, date donated, donor name, address, telephone number, donor comments, e-mail address, credit card information or copy of check received.  United States tax laws require the Alliance to keep contribution levels and contact information of donors on file.

How we use that information

The Alliance will use contact information of donors for these purposes only:

  • Distribute receipts for donations
  • Thank donors for their donation
  • Inform donors about news and upcoming activities
  • Internal analysis and record keeping
  • Reporting to relevant US and state agencies

No sharing of personal information

The Alliance will not share, sell, rent or lease donor information to other organizations.  The identity of donors requesting to remain anonymous will not be shared publicly.

Financial Information

 All access to donor financial information is limited to professional staff who need to process those data.  No such data are given to any person, organization or group who does not need to access those data.

The Alliance uses a secure online payment processing service, FundraiseUp.  All transaction and credit card information entered through our online donation system is encrypted using SSL certificates.

Discontinuing Contact Upon Request

It is the policy of the Alliance to discontinue contacting any person upon that persona’s oral or written request directed to the Alliance.  Please request a copy of our “Policy on Discontinuing Contact Upon Request” for more details.

Donor Bill of Rights

The Alliance subscribes to the Donor Bill of Rights, created by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), and the Giving Institute: Leading Consultants to Non-Profits.

The Donor Bill of Rights

Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To assure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the nonprofit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have these rights:

  1. To be informed of the organization’s mission, of the way the organization intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.
  2. To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization’s governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
  3. To have access to the organization’s most recent financial statements.
  4. To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
  5. To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition.
  6. To be assured that information about their donation is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
  7. To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature.
  8. To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization or hired solicitors.
  9. To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization may intend to share.
  10. To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers.
