Donor Privacy Policy
The Reason, Individualism, Freedom Institute (RIFI) which sponsors The Great Connections respects the privacy of our donors (both online and offline) and their choice not to have personal information shared with others. We do not and will not sell or rent donor information; however, occasionally we make donor mailing lists available to select, reputable nonprofits in return for donor lists from those organizations. This helps RIFI continue to grow. In addition, we may provide donor information to companies that help RIFI improve our fundraising efforts, such as mail service providers, online donation processing vendors, donor data management systems, and other services. We also disclose donor information as required by law.
Our donors may instruct that we exclude them from our own communications and/or exclude their information from the lists that we share with others for use in their fundraising or marketing purposes. All such requests will be implemented as soon as possible. Please direct these requests to Felicia Goglia at felicia@thegreatconnections.org or by mail to: The Reason, Individualism, Freedom Institute, 9400 S. Damen Avenue, Chicago, IL 60643.
The Reason, Individualism, Freedom Institute may, from time to time, change this policy. If you would like to be notified when we do so, please contact Felicia Goglia at felicia@thegreatconnections.org or at the address above.
