Privacy Statement-Donations to Johns Hopkins All Children's Foundation

Effective Date: October 30, 2026

Johns Hopkins All Children’s Foundation is strongly committed to protecting your privacy, whether you’re a donor, website visitor, or anyone else who communicates or connects with us.

We want to make sure you have all the information you need to understand what kind of data we gather, how we handle it, whether and how we share it and what your options are. Any individual or organization supplying information to Johns Hopkins All Children's Foundation can feel secure in knowing all information will be held in the strictest of confidence and with respect for the donor's privacy.

When it comes to collecting or sharing information, our primary motivation is to increase our efficiency, keep our fundraising costs down, and, most importantly, improve your experience. If you have an unresolved privacy or data use concern that we have not addressed satisfactorily, please reach out to our team at [email protected].

We may participate in nonprofit data cooperatives, benchmarking initiatives, donor analytics programs, or other collaborative efforts with charitable organizations and service providers. Through these programs, we may share certain donor information to better understand donor interests, improve fundraising effectiveness, conduct prospect research, and reduce fundraising costs. Participants are required to use the information only for authorized purposes and in accordance with applicable confidentiality and data protection requirements

We may revise or update this Privacy Policy at any time in our sole discretion. Any changes will be effective upon posting the revised Privacy Policy on our website unless otherwise stated. By continuing to interact with the Foundation, use our website, make donations, participate in our programs, or provide personal information after a revised Privacy Policy becomes effective, you acknowledge and agree that your information will be governed by the then-current version of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for updates.

The following Privacy Policy applies when you make a donation to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital at give.hopkinsallchildrens.org.

Donor information

If you make a donation online, we’ll request certain personally identifiable information about you (such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, and credit card information). This information ensures that we can securely process your donation and communicate with you about it. We may also use your information to improve our promotional efforts, keep you updated about our work, analyze website usage, and improve our website's content, layout, and services.

If you share personal information about others with us, or if others give us your information, we will only use that information for the specific reason it was provided. For example, if you ordered a gift or made a donation in someone’s name, we may collect the name and address of the gift recipient in order to deliver the gift or notify the recipient. We will only use this information for the specific purpose it was provided. If you believe that someone has shared your personal information with us and you don’t want to be included in our database, please let us know so that we can remove you. Call us at 727-767-2373 or email [email protected].

We may receive information about you from other sources — including publicly available databases or third parties we purchased data from — and combine this data with information we already have about you. This helps us to update, expand and analyze our records, identify people who may want to know more about our work, and provide you with information we think would be of interest.

Here are some examples of the types of personal information we might collect from public sources or purchase from third parties:

  • Address information from sources such as the U.S. Postal Service to verify your address so we can prevent fraud and securely ship a gift receipt to you
  • Marketing data to create more tailored and relevant updates, information or advertising

Sharing with third parties

In the interests of improving your experience and the services we can offer you, we may share your information with third-party business partners, such as a direct mail provider or marketing agency. If you don’t want us to share your personal information with these third-party business partners, such as a direct mail provider or marketing agency, please contact us at 727-767-2373 or email [email protected].

We do not sell or rent our mailing list to other organizations that solicit donations or sell any products. Because we are always looking to reduce our fundraising costs and improve how we connect with you, Johns Hopkins All Children’s Foundation may exchange portions of our mailing list with select non-profit organizations. If you prefer not to have your personal information shared with these organizations, let us know by contacting our Donor Engagement team at [email protected]. You can also call us at 727-767-2373 or write to us by mail: Johns Hopkins All Children’s Foundation, Attn: Donor Engagement, P.O. Box 17027, St. Petersburg, FL 33733-7027.

Johns Hopkins All Children’s Foundation employs companies to help us host our donor information database, send postal mail and email, model our data, and process online and mail donations as well as credit card payments. These companies need to have access to personal donor information, but we require them to keep it confidential. They are only authorized to use this information as necessary to provide their specific services to us.

Other information

If you shared personal information like your name, postal address, and email address for purposes other than donating (such as receiving an email newsletter or invitations to events), we collect, store, and use this information primarily for the purposes it was submitted.

We may also use this information to improve our communication with you and provide additional information about our work that we think would be of interest to you. We may share this information and material with you via online social platforms, websites, phone, text/SMS, postal mail, or email, as permitted by applicable law.

We do not share this information with any third parties except those that provide us with certain services like database hosting (as described above).

Updating your information

We are always working to keep the information you share with us up-to-date. At any point, you can contact us to request details about whether we hold any of your personal information. If you have donated to us and would like to access, correct, update, or delete your personal data or adjust your mail preferences, please let us know. You can call us at 727-767-2373, email [email protected], or mail the update to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Foundation, Attn: Donor Engagement, P.O. Box 17027, St. Petersburg, FL 33733-7027.

Opt-out preference

If you’d like to stay up-to-date on the lifesaving work we’re doing around the world, you can sign up to receive email, newsletter, or other communications from us. If you ever want to stop receiving this information, you can easily update your email preferences by using the "Unsubscribe" link found in emails we send you or at your member profile on our website.
