Donor Information

The Loppet Foundation collects and maintains the following types of donor information when it is voluntarily provided to us:

  • Contact information such as name, address, telephone number and e-mail address
  • Giving information
  • Information on events attended, publications received and special requests for program information
  • Information provided by the donor in the form of comments and suggestions

This confidential information is kept on file for IRS purposes. It is also used to analyze overall giving patterns in order to make more accurate budget projections, as well as to understand donors’ interests in our mission and to update them on the organization’s plans and activities. The Loppet Foundation does not share or sell donor information with other organizations.

Discontinuing Contact Upon Request

It is the policy of The Loppet Foundation to communicate with donors according to their expressed preferences whenever possible. The Loppet Foundation will discontinue or change the method used to contact any person upon that person’s oral or written request directed to the organization, its professional fundraiser, or other agent. Click here to view the no communication request form.

The Loppet Foundation shall maintain a record of all requests by persons who indicate to the The Loppet Foundation, its professional fundraiser, or other agents, that they do not wish to be contacted by or on behalf of the The Loppet Foundation.

Upon a person’s (or a person’s authorized representative’s) request that the The Loppet Foundation discontinue further contacts, the person’s contact information will be promptly modified in the The Loppet Foundation’s donor database and the Loppet Foundation will make its best efforts to ensure that no further regular contact is made with the person.

Permanent Record: The Loppet Foundation will maintain an electronic record of all requests for discontinuance of contacts, effective with the adoption of this policy by the The Loppet Foundation’s board of directors. Oral requests will be noted in writing by the staff of the The Loppet Foundation and then permanently recorded in the electronic donor database. The records of persons who have made such a request will be maintained by the The Loppet Foundation to the extent necessary for legal or liability purposes.
