Donor Privacy Policy

The Sun Valley Center for the Arts is committed to respecting the privacy of donors. The Center will not sell, share, or trade our donors’ names or personal information with any other entity, nor send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations. This policy applies to all information received by The Center, both online and offline, on any platform, as well as any electronic, written, or oral communications. The Center uses donors’ information to understand their interests and to keep donors up to date on the organization’s plans and activities. Information is shared with staff, board members, volunteers, and consultants only on a “need to know” basis. To the extent any donations are processed through a third-party service provider, our donors’ information will only be used for purposes necessary to process the donation. The Center assures donors that their names and addresses will not be shared outside of the organized unless permission has been granted. Those who do not wish to be included in The Center’s mailing lists should contact The Center to have their names removed from communications. If you have comments or questions about The Center’s donor privacy policy, please email info@sunvalleycenter.org or call (208)726-9491.

Donor Bill of Rights

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 assure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the not-for-profit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have these rights:

  1. To be informed of the organization’s mission, of the way the organization intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.
  2. To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization’s governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgement in its stewardship responsibilities.
  3. To have access to the organization’s most recent financial statements.
  4. To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
  5. To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition.
  6. To be assured that information about their donations is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
  7. To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature.
  8. To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization or hired solicitors.
  9. To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization may intend to share.
  10. To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers.

The text of this statement in its entirety was developed by the American Association of Fund-Raising Counsel (AAFRC), Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), and the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), and adopted in November 1993.
