How we handle your information.

Who we are

Fight Forward Foundation ("F3," "we," "us") is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. Our mailing address is 2428 West Main St, Kalamazoo, MI 49006. You can reach us with questions about this policy, or to make a request about your personal information, at contact@fightforwardfdn.org.

Information we collect

Donors. If you donate through this site, our payment processor, Zeffy, collects your payment information directly. We receive your name, email, and donation amount from Zeffy, but we do not receive or store your card or bank details.

Direct contact. If you email us using a link on this site, we receive whatever information you choose to include in that email (typically your name, email address, and message).

This site does not currently have a grant application form, contact form, or account system of its own. We don't use analytics or tracking cookies on this site.

How we use your information

We use donor information to process donations, send receipts, and, where you've opted in through Zeffy, communicate with you about our programs. We use information from direct emails to respond to your question or request.

Who we share your information with

• Donations: Zeffy processes donations made through this site.
• Accounting: Our bookkeeper and accountant have access to financial records for recordkeeping and audit purposes.
• Legal and regulatory: We disclose information to the IRS, state charity regulators, or auditors when legally required.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for third-party marketing.

Grant applications

This site does not yet have an online grant application. When one is added, this policy will be updated to describe what information is collected, including the guardian consent required for applicants under 18. We do not knowingly collect a minor's information through this website without a parent or legal guardian's involvement.

Data retention

We retain donor and financial records for 7 years after the relevant tax year, consistent with our recordkeeping obligations as a tax-exempt organization. Direct emails are kept only as long as needed to respond to and resolve your request.

Your rights

You may request access to, or correction of, the personal information we hold about you. You may request that we delete information we hold, though we may be unable to fully delete records tied to a completed donation while we remain within our legal retention period. We'll tell you if that applies. To make a request, contact contact@fightforwardfdn.org.

Security

We limit access to financial and donor information to those who need it to process donations or maintain financial records, and we take reasonable steps to protect that information. No method of storage or transmission is fully secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as this site and our programs grow. The effective date above reflects the most recent revision.
