Our website’s registration and donation forms require users to give us contact information, such as name and email address.

Donor contact information is also used to contact the donor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.

Donor contact information is obtained through donations received through the mail, over the phone, in person, or through our online donation form. Our online donation forms allow donors to support our programs. We collect donors’ contact information, including their mail and email addresses, and phone number. We use this information to send acknowledgements, donation receipt letters, event invitations, and information about the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless’ programs to our donors. A donor’s contact information is also used to get in touch with the donor if necessary. Donors will never receive phone solicitations from the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless. Supporters may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Credit card information that is collected is used only to charge a user’s donation.
