Donor and Fundraising Privacy Policies & Procedures

3SDVA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Contributions made to 3SDVA are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law and will be used to further the organization’s mission. Donors may designate contributions to specific projects, however 3SDVA reserves the right to reallocate designated gifts if a project is overfunded.

In accordance with IRS regulations, acknowledgment letters will be provided for all donations received, unless otherwise requested by the donor. When a gift includes goods or services exchanged for a contribution, the acknowledgment will specify the portion of the donation that is tax-deductible. All in-kind donations will be recorded and acknowledged in compliance with organizational development standards and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Donor Privacy Policy –

• 3SDVA will never sell or trade donor information.

• 3SDVA will always honor a donor’s request to remain anonymous.

• Donors will be contacted periodically for solicitation purposes and/or regarding upcoming events unless the donor has opted out of communications.

• 3SDVA will honor all donor requests to opt out of mail, email, or phone solicitations. Donors can modify their communication and solicitation preferences by contacting the Development office via email, phone or postal mail. Please contact Development at 910-456-7890.

To assure donors and prospective donors can have trust and confidence in donating to nonprofit organizations, the Association of Fundraising Professionals in conjunction with other philanthropic organizations has created A Donor Bill of Rights. To learn more about your rights please visit: https://afpglobal.org/sites/default/files/attachments/2018-10/DonorBillofRights.pdf

Please note that 3SDVA complies with this Donor Bill of Rights, with the exception of Article IX, in that we are more protective of donor information than this Bill of Rights because we do NOT share mailing lists.
