Donor Privacy Policy

Last updated September 4, 2024

Donor Information

Threads Dance Project respects the privacy of our donors. We have developed a Donor Privacy Policy to honor that privacy.

Threads Dance Project 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
Connections the donor has in the community
Confidential donor giving information is kept on file for IRS purposes. It is also used to better plan for Threads Dance Project’ organizational needs and to keep donors informed of our activities, programs, special events, and funding needs. This information is shared with staff, board members, volunteers, and consultants only on a confidential and need-to-know basis.

Threads Dance Project does not sell, rent, trade, or share its donor list or the information on those lists with any other organization. Threads Dance Project does not send out mailings on behalf of other organizations. Threads Dance Project does not sell, rent, or exchange email addresses provided to us.

Discontinuing Contact Upon Request

Threads Dance Project’s policy is to communicate with donors according to their expressed preferences whenever possible. If a donor notifies Threads Dance Project through a written or oral request that they choose not to receive communications from us at any time, Threads Dance Project will discontinue or change the method used to contact that person.

Donor Bill of Rights

Threads Dance Project subscribes to the Donor Bill of Rights, which was 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 Threads Dance Project Donor Bill of Rights states:

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 ensure 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:

To be informed of the Threads Dance Project mission, of the way the organization intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.
To be informed of the identity of those serving on the Threads Dance Project governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
To have access to the most recent financial statements produced by Threads Dance Project.
To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
To receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition.
To be assured that information about their donation is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
