Donor Privacy Policy

Wakeman Boys & Girls Club collects personal data through event registration, email subscription, online donation services, postal mail, phone, and other electronic means. We only collect this information when users submit it voluntarily or through the public domain. If a user prefers not to submit such information online, they may contact Sarah Motti at 203-908-3381 or smotti@wakemanclub.org to determine an appropriate channel to transmit this information.

From these services, we may collect a person's first name, last name, email address, address, city, state, zip code, and phone numbers (home, work, or mobile). We may collect event-specific information pertaining to a person's attendance, meal preferences, and guests. We may collect the provided name and email of a spouse, contributor or foundation to facilitate the recognition for a gift. This confidential information is kept on file for IRS purposes.

Wakeman Boys & Girls Club does not sell, trade, rent or exchange its donor list and donors’ personal information with any other organization. Wakeman periodically does provide its donor list to its national organization, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, for the purpose of suppressing names from Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s national mailing lists. Wakeman will not sell, trade, rent or exchange any donor lists from any Boys & Girls Clubs.

Wakeman Boys & Girls Club never sends out mailings on behalf of other organizations except when our organization is a designated beneficiary of an organization/event.

Donor information is maintained in a password protected, secured database. Only authorized personnel have access to this information and only for appropriate business purposes. This information is shared with board members and authorized staff, only on a confidential and need-to-know basis.

Wakeman BGC publishes a list of the names of donors in an annual report. Options for anonymous giving and “opt-out” selections are available. Please contact Director of Development Sarah Motti at 203-908-3381 or smotti@wakemanclub.org for these requests.
