CDP’s Commitment to Our Donors
Donors are vital to the success of the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP) and its work to support medium- to long-term recovery of individuals and communities, post-disaster. Therefore, we are committed to building your trust and keeping your personal information secure.

The Center for Disaster Philanthropy will never share, rent, loan or sell your personal information with anyone else or with any other organization. Also, CDP will not send mailings to you on behalf of other organizations.

This donor policy applies to any information received by CDP both online and offline, including electronic or written communications.

Donating Online: When you donate online by credit card, you must submit your name, your credit card number and billing information for credit card verification purposes. This information allows our credit card processor Blackbaud [blackbaud.com] to process and fulfill your donation, to notify you of your donation status or to associate your donation with a particular fundraising campaign.

The payment information you provide on the Blackbaud website when making a donation is transmitted and stored securely by our payment processor. You should review their privacy policy and contact them directly webmaster@blackbaud.com with any questions about payment security.

Donating Anonymously: If you would like to donate anonymously, please indicate this when completing the donation form by checking the box “I would like this gift to remain anonymous.” If you pay by check you can indicate that you wish to remain anonymous by noting it on the check.

Correcting Your Personal Information: If at any time you believe the information collected by CDP is incorrect or inappropriate, simply email us at communications@disasterphilanthropy.org to have your information changed or removed from our database. 

Right to Erasure: If you wish to delete your account or have your information removed from our system, email communications@disasterphilanthropy.org. For your privacy and security, this request must originate from the email address of your CDP account.
