Donor Privacy
We value donor trust. Blue Bee Project does not sell donor names, contact information, or donor lists.
If donor recognition is displayed publicly, such as on a donor recognition page or event material, we will make reasonable efforts to honor requests for anonymous giving or removal from public recognition. If you would like your name removed from a public donor list, please contact us at info@bluebeeproject.com.
