Speak Out accepts funds from a broad range of sources provided they are for purposes that are in keeping with its mission. These contributions may be payable on an annual, monthly, or one-time basis, or be given as in-kind goods or services. Speak Out is grateful for the contributions it receives, which provide critical support that makes the organization’s work possible. Speak Out respects the intent of its donors by ensuring that the organization uses donor funds in accordance with their wishes.
Acceptance of any contribution is at the discretion of Speak Out. Accordingly, each is subject to a condition, which is reflected in a written acceptance letter for any contribution of $250 and above that stipulates that Speak Out is accepting such contribution on the condition that Speak Out retains intellectual independence and full control over any content funded in whole or in part by the contribution.
As a general policy, Speak Out does not accept anonymous contributions. In appropriate occasions, Speak Out will make exceptions to this policy for individual donors. Speak Out will not accept funds from 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations primarily engaged in political activities, nor will it endorse any political candidate.
Speak Out publicly acknowledges all its donors who give $250 or more in an annual listing on its website, and may do so in other contexts as well. Speak Out does not sell, trade, or rent its donor lists, and does not share donor information with third parties. Speak Out takes all reasonable and appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized use of its donor lists.
