Donor Privacy Policy

Your Generosity Is Personal. Your Privacy Matters.

Every gift to Circle of Hope represents generosity, trust, and a belief in our mission. We are deeply grateful for that trust and take seriously our responsibility to protect the personal information you choose to share with us.

Our Commitment to You

Circle of Hope does not sell, rent, trade, or exchange donor names, contact information, giving history, or other personal information with other organizations for their marketing, fundraising, or solicitation purposes.

We will not provide your information to another organization so that it can solicit you, nor will we send fundraising communications on another organization’s behalf.

Information We May Collect

When you make a gift, contact us about giving, participate in an event, or otherwise support Circle of Hope, we may collect information such as your:

  • Name 
  • Mailing address 
  • Email address 
  • Telephone number 
  • Donation amount and giving history 
  • Gift designation or giving preferences 
  • Information necessary to process and acknowledge your contribution 

We use this information only as reasonably necessary to process and acknowledge gifts, provide tax documentation, maintain accurate financial records, communicate with you about Circle of Hope, honor your preferences, and meet applicable legal and reporting requirements.

How We Protect Your Information

Circle of Hope takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect donor information from unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, alteration, or loss.

Access to donor information is limited to those who reasonably need it to carry out legitimate responsibilities on behalf of Circle of Hope.

When trusted third-party providers are needed to process donations, payments, communications, accounting, or other essential functions, information may be shared only to the extent reasonably necessary to perform those services.

Your Giving Information Is Confidential

We respect the confidentiality of your generosity. Circle of Hope does not publicly disclose a donor’s name, gift amount, giving history, or other identifying information without permission, except when disclosure is required by law or necessary for legitimate financial, tax, or regulatory purposes.

Anonymous Giving

We are happy to honor requests for anonymity whenever reasonably possible. If you would prefer that your name or gift remain anonymous in public acknowledgments, publications, donor recognition, or other communications, simply let us know.

Your Communication Preferences

We want every communication from Circle of Hope to be welcome.

You may contact us at any time to update or correct your information, change how we communicate with you, discontinue particular communications, or request removal from our mailing or email lists. We will make every reasonable effort to honor your preferences promptly.

Questions or Privacy Requests

If you have a question about this policy or would like to update your information, communication preferences, or anonymity request, please contact:

Your Trust Is Worth Protecting

Your generosity should never come at the expense of your privacy. We are deeply grateful for the trust you place in Circle of Hope and are committed to treating both your gift and your personal information with care, integrity, and discretion.

Circle of Hope may update this Donor Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable requirements.

The power of partnership

The Circle Is
Bigger Than Us.

The name Circle of Hope reflects something we believe deeply:

No single organization has to have every answer when an entire community is willing to help

Our partners bring medical expertise, counseling, education, employment opportunities, practical resources, mentoring, professional services, and many other strengths into the circle.

Together, we respond more comprehensively, use resources more wisely, and accomplish far more than any one organization could alone.
