Living Classrooms Foundation, a non-profit educational organization based in the Baltimore-Washington, DC area, works with a wide variety of children and adults and has a special commitment to serving young people who are disadvantaged and underserved. Without effective interventions like empowering education and employment-training opportunities like those provided by Living Classrooms, this population is highly vulnerable to the risks of school dropout, unemployment, and involvement with crime. Living Classrooms' hands-on, experiential programs motivate students and adults to value the relevance of learning, continue their education, and prepare for careers.
We currently provide education, workforce development, and health and wellness programs reaching over 25,000 children, adults, and families per year. We have had much success, yet there is still a great deal of work to do on behalf of the disadvantaged youth and adults we serve. We are seeking financial support that will enable us to continue our mission of transforming lives and communities.
Donor Privacy Policy
Living Classrooms maintains the highest level of respect for the privacy of our donors. The following is our donor privacy policy, which guides our volunteers and staff on how they may and may not use your personal information while honoring your rights as a contributor.
Living Classrooms collects and uses personal information from donors that includes: name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. In addition, Living Classrooms keeps a record of each donor’s giving history. This information is kept on file for IRS purposes and is also used in our development process to analyze overall giving patterns in order to make accurate budget projections. Living Classrooms does not sell, trade, rent or share names, addresses, telephone numbers, or e-mail addresses of our donors. We will use contact information (e-mail, telephone number and address) of donors for these purposes only:
- Distribute receipts and thank donors for their donations
- Inform donors about news, upcoming fundraising events and other activities of Living Classrooms
- Internal analysis and record keeping
- Reporting to relevant U.S. and State agencies (these reports are not for public inspection)
- Contact donors about changes to this policy. As a rule, Living Classrooms publicly recognizes a donor by publishing a donor’s name unless the donor explicitly indicates that they would like their donation to be made “anonymous” when making a donation. Properly anonymized donor information can be used for promotional and fundraising activities. If you have questions about this policy or would like to make changes to your contact information, please contact : Shannon Fries at sfries@livingclassrooms.org
