We may also collect limited non-personal information automatically when you visit our website, such as browser type, device type, pages visited, referring website, general location information, and website usage data.

We do not sell personal information.
Children's Privacy
Because our mission involves children and families, we take children’s privacy seriously.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through our website without parent or guardian consent. When information about a child is needed for a program, application, service, or communication, we aim to collect that information from the child’s parent or legal guardian.
If we collect personal information about a child, we will use it only for the purpose for which it was provided, such as application review, registration, communication, safety, participation in a program, or providing requested support.
Parents and legal guardians may contact us to ask what personal information we have collected about their child, request corrections, request deletion, or ask us to stop using the child’s information, subject to any legal, safety, or record-keeping obligations.
If you believe a child has provided us personal information without parent or guardian consent, please contact us so we can review and delete the information if appropriate.
Donations
We accept donations through Givebutter, a third-party fundraising and donation platform for nonprofit organizations. When you make a donation, Givebutter may collect and process your payment information according to its own privacy and security policies. We do not intend to store full credit card numbers or payment card details on our own website systems. We may receive donor information from Givebutter, such as your name, contact information, donation amount, donation date, and any message or designation you choose to include. We may use that information for donation records, thank-you messages, donor communication, and organizational reporting.
Communication
If you provide your phone number or email address, we may use it to contact you about applications, programs, services, donations, volunteer opportunities, events, or organization updates.
We do not share mobile phone numbers with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes. You may opt out of non-essential communications by contacting us. Please note that we may still send important administrative, safety, transaction, donation, application, or program-related messages.
Photos, Videos and Media
We may use photos, videos, stories, or testimonials from programs, events, or community activities when we have permission to do so. We seek appropriate permission from families before using identifiable images or stories of children in public-facing materials, including our website, social media, newsletters, fundraising materials, or promotional materials. Parents and guardians may contact us with questions or requests regarding use of a child’s image or story.
