Fundraising
Donate is very important to L.A.S.’s ability to achieve its mission. We carry out a wide variety of marketing activities to seek individuals’ support for our work, ranging from appeals for small one-off donations, to large donations to support our core activities, to large fundraising initiatives for specific projects. We want to ensure that we are contacting you with tailored and appropriate communications, and ensure we direct our resources and fundraising activities as effectively as we can. We also want to communicate with you from time to time to thank you for your support and tell you what we have achieved with the help of your donation.
Since we were founded in 2023 L.A.S. has relied on individual donations as well as foundations and businesses to support both our recurrent costs and for new projects. In order that our fundraising is appropriate, respectful, efficient and effective, we tailor our approaches to different people in different ways. We use information you have given us, sometimes together with data we collect from publicly available sources, to help us decide how best to do this.
For a small number of people, we may undertake research using publicly available information relating to philanthropic activities, wealth and capacity to give, to create a profile of interests and preferences. This helps us understand the background of the people who we believe may be willing to attend events and enter into a dialogue with us to learn more about supporting our work and organisation. Ultimately it helps us to ensure that proactive requests for gifts are directed to only those who we believe may be able and willing to give. This information is collected from public sources such as news articles and social media.
If we do collect such information about you, whether jointly or on our own, we will inform you in order to provide you with an opportunity to opt out of your data being used for these purposes. You can also opt out by emailing us on info@listeningandsounding.com.
