    Nonprofit Data Is Uniquely Sensitive

    Donor financial records, volunteer personal information, and beneficiary data for vulnerable populations demand specialized privacy protection.

    Donor Data

    Names, addresses, payment details, donation history, giving capacity, and employer matching information. Donors trust you with their financial data.

    • Payment card and bank details
    • Donation amounts and frequency
    • Employer and matching gift info
    • Communication preferences

    Volunteer Records

    Contact information, availability, skills, emergency contacts, and sometimes background check data requiring FCRA compliance.

    • Personal contact details
    • Background check results
    • Emergency contact info
    • Skills and availability records

    Beneficiary Information

    Data about the people you serve -- often vulnerable populations like at-risk youth, abuse survivors, or those experiencing homelessness.

    • Case management records
    • Health and demographic data
    • Service utilization history
    • Anonymized impact reporting

    Donor Privacy Protection

    Your donors trust you with sensitive financial information. PolicyForge ensures your privacy practices honor that trust while meeting legal requirements.

    Donor Bill of Rights Compliance

    Your policy aligns with the AFP Donor Bill of Rights, including the right to be informed how donations are used, to have names removed from mailing lists, and to receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition.

    Anonymous Giving Options

    Clear disclosure of how anonymous donations are handled, what data is still collected for tax purposes (IRS requirements), and how anonymity is preserved in public recognition, annual reports, and donor walls.

    Fundraising Platform Data Sharing

    Transparent disclosure of data shared with payment processors (Stripe, PayPal), CRM systems (Salesforce NPSP), email platforms (Mailchimp), and peer-to-peer fundraising tools (GoFundMe, Classy).

    Email & Communication Consent

    CAN-SPAM compliant opt-in/opt-out for fundraising appeals, newsletters, and event invitations. GDPR consent management for EU donors. CASL compliance for Canadian supporters.

    Compliance for Grant-Funded Programs

    Government and foundation grants come with strict data requirements. PolicyForge covers every reporting obligation.

    Federal Grant Requirements

    OMB Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) data management, PII protection for federally-funded programs, audit trail requirements, and data retention mandates for federal grant recipients.

    Foundation Reporting

    Disclosure of participant demographics, outcome metrics, and beneficiary data shared in grant reports. Clear explanation of data anonymization practices and consent for data sharing with funders.

    State Charity Registration

    Privacy disclosures required by state charitable solicitation laws. Covers all 41 states that require registration, including state-specific privacy mandates for donor data handling.

    Tax-Exempt Compliance

    IRS Form 990 disclosure requirements, donor data for tax receipt purposes, board member information handling, and public inspection requirements under Section 6104.

    Many grant applications now require a published privacy policy

    Federal agencies, major foundations, and corporate sponsors increasingly require evidence of data protection practices before awarding grants. A comprehensive privacy policy demonstrates organizational maturity and protects your funding pipeline.
