Donor Privacy Policy Statement

FESCO considers all donors and supporters to be Friends of FESCO. The trust and confidence of our donors is important to us. We are therefore careful in the way we handle nonpublic personal information about our donors.

• We do not disclose personal information about our present or former donors to third parties.

• We do not share, trade, sell, or otherwise make available our donor or mailing lists to any other entity.

• We restrict access to donor information to employees who are involved in financial records maintenance.

• We honor requests for anonymity.

We list donors in our Annual Report by broad giving categories (unless anonymity was requested), but do not disclose the amount of any individual donor’s single or combined gifts unless required to do so by law.
