Privacy Policy

Donor Privacy

Family Works will always make the best efforts to protect the privacy of our donors. We hold all donor information in strict confidence and will not sell it to any other organization. We will only use your information to contact you regarding your donation, update you on our progress, and inform you of any upcoming Family Works events or fundraising campaigns.

While we love the opportunity to celebrate your donation by recognizing it online and in print, we understand that you may wish to keep some or all information about your donation private.

We publish a print annual report summary that contains a donor list and keep an updated list of donors on our website. Each list will give the names of every individual and organization that contributed funds during the previous calendar year. We will not report how much was given but may report on general giving levels. When you donate, you can also check the “anonymous” box when donating by mail or online. You can choose, at any time, to have your name removed from one or all online and printed donor lists or from any internal mailing lists. If you have any questions or would like to be removed from one or more lists, please email jessica@familyworks.org
