not in my books..i am sure donors would just love being passed around..not. and where is the privacy and confidentiality in this either?
does anyone know is this universally accepted practice?
cuz it just feels TOTALLY wrong to me.
Good Afternoon,
My name is XXX, I am the Co-Executive Director and Co-Founder
of XXX., a nationally registered XXX
charitable organization. We would like to ask if your charity has a
policy in place where they will trade their Donors List with another
charity.
If you would be interested in exchanging our donor list please contact
me by email or by telephone at: xxxx
Thank you for your time.
well we didn't have a policy in place before but we sure as heck do now...it is very simple policy ...NO not EVER.
(oh and X is not an animal charity, just so no one thinks this is an animal rescue thing.)
Hi Carol: I received the same email. Seems like this person and organization are canvassing all charitable organizations in Canada. Is there an app for that :)
This email request is definitely against the BC Personal Information Protection Act. But it seems we both know it is wrong on so many levels.
Receiving a donation means someone cares about what you are doing. They are not an ATM! http://www.bccpac.bc.ca/sites/default/files/resources/guide_to_personal_information_protection_act.pdf
