Information we collect
We collect information you choose to provide through forms on this site, including:
- Newsletter signup: your email address.
- Scholarship interest: name, contact details, location, preferred format, support needed, and anything you share about your goals or barriers.
- Funder / grant packet requests: name, organization, email, funding interest, and estimated range.
- Contact form: name, email, organization, inquiry type, and your message.
- Donations: processed by a third-party donation platform; we receive the information needed to acknowledge and record your gift.
We also collect limited, privacy-conscious analytics about site usage to improve our resources. We avoid invasive tracking and aggressive retargeting.
How we use information
- To respond to your inquiry and route it to the right person.
- To administer scholarships, donations, grants, and program communications.
- To send updates you’ve asked for, such as the newsletter (you can unsubscribe anytime).
- To maintain records required for nonprofit governance and grant reporting.
Applicant and recipient privacy
We minimize the personal information we request from scholarship applicants and store it securely. We do not publicly identify applicants or recipients without their consent. Information shared with funders is aggregated or anonymized unless a recipient has consented or a grant requires specific reporting that the applicant accepted.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate (such as email, form, and donation platforms), with funders in aggregated or anonymized form as described above, or where required by law.
Spam protection
Our forms use accessibility-friendly spam protection such as honeypot fields and rate limiting, rather than image-only CAPTCHAs.
Data retention
We retain information as long as needed for the purpose it was collected and for nonprofit record-keeping and grant requirements, then dispose of it according to our retention practices.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from emails using the link in any message.
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information where applicable.
- Decline to provide optional information on any form.
