Marketing and Communications from The Community Foundation – Donations

The Community Foundation for Staffordshire will use some of the data you provide to us for marketing purposes.  Usually you will either have to ‘opt in’ to receive these communications, unless we feel there is a ‘legitimate interest’ in using this data for marketing.  There are several ways we may use this, and so they are detailed below, along with examples of ‘Opt-in’, ‘legitimate interest’ and how you can stop these communications.

Marketing for grants

We issue a quarterly newsletter to anyone who has donated through The Community Foundation.  This newsletter contains details of how we have spent donations, and information on some of the projects that we have funded.  Due to the nature of these e-mails they may provide more information on how you can stay involved with The Community Foundation as a supporter.

If you have not made a donation through The Community Foundation but would like to receive these e-mails, then please let us know and we can add you to our donor’s mailing list.

If you no longer wish to receive these communications, then please get in touch with us and we will make the necessary changes immediately.  If you have chosen to ‘opt-out’ of receiving these communications, you will not receive this quarterly e-mail.

There is a link at the bottom of each communication from us allowing you to unsubscribe.  By clicking this link you will be preventing us contacting you with any e-mail marketing.  If you only want to stop certain sorts of e-mails from us, please contact us directly.

You may also register with the Fundraising Preference Service.  This is a new service which will allow you to opt out of receiving communications from us and from other charities.  Again, by using this service you will prevent all e-mail marketing communications from us, and so again, if you only want to stop certain communications, please contact us detailing which ones you wish to ‘opt-out’ of.  The link to the Fundraising Preference Service is https://www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk/the-fundraising-preference-service/

If we hold your details when they were gathered by you not ‘opting-out’ we will be in touch over the next few months to ask whether you wish to continue receiving these funding e-mails.

If you have not opened one of these e-mails from us for a period of 12 months, we will automatically stop sending them to you, unless you request otherwise.
