Who is Hopeline.org
Hello, my name is Curtis Blanchet and I have owned hopeline.org since 1999 and incorporated Hopeline Christian Society as a USA 501 (c)(3) Non-Profit Charity in 2013 after moving my family back from Haiti.
I started Hopeline.org to Financially help Charities (secular and Christian) as well as those living in poverty around the world, especially those in 3rd and developing countries to show the world that Jesus loves them.
Over the years that I have raised money to help others I have had to collect paper information, electronic data, donor lists and other information. Never have I/we held onto or given any information to any 3rd party or used it to personally contact previous donors to raise more money from anyone. Although this a normally practice from non-profits and businesses to fundraise or make more sales I have made it my policy to never do it. NO ONE will ever be able to say if they have given a donation that I have come back and asked for more for another fundraiser or asked to them to increase the amount they have chosen to give. Nor will I ever do that in the future. This does not mean that people or organizations that we have helped have not asked THEIR personal friends or contacts to give more to us so that it could be passed on back to them through Hopeline Christian Society.
Therefore, you can be assured that any and ALL data collected on this site that you chose to give it will only be used for the process of your desired purpose or need that it was collected for. Nor will we hold onto it any longer than it is needed for your desired needs. WE HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER USE ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA OR INFORMATION to raise money from advertisers, other users or future fundraisers, etc. This does not mean that you cannot personally share your information with others. Although it is not recommended unless you personally know the person or organization in question.
