We may offer periodic recognition to thank our donors for their support. Forms of recognition might include publishing donor names on our website, in our annual report, donor newsletter, a thank you advertisement in Psychiatric News, signage, and at our special events.
Donors have the right to request that their donation be anonymous and that their name not be used in any of these venues.

Mailing Lists
The Foundation does not rent, sell, give-away or trade its donor lists or any information contained on those lists. Donor information is used by the Foundation for charitable purposes only as described above and will not be used by any entity outside of the foundation.
