Our Commitment to Our Donors
We 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 information received by McGaw YMCA online, offline, through mobile applications, as well as any electronic, written, or oral communications.
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. Donor information is used to provide receipts, donor stewardship and internal research and analysis.
The McGaw YMCA is a good steward of your donations. Review our profile on Guidestar.org or read about us on Charitynavigator.org to learn more about how we put donors’ dollars to work.
