4. Confidentiality of Nonprofit Information
Your organizational information is treated with care.
NXT Giving recognizes that nonprofit organizations may provide non-public information concerning finances, fundraising activity, foundation relationships, programs, organizational strategy, funding needs, donor relationships, and internal development capacity.
We treat non-public organizational information submitted to us as confidential and use it only for legitimate purposes related to evaluating, providing, improving, or discussing NXT Giving services.
We do not intentionally disclose confidential nonprofit information to unrelated third parties except where necessary to provide requested services, where the organization has authorized the disclosure, or where disclosure is required by law.
Information submitted through the Giving Quiz, consultation forms, or direct communications may be reviewed by authorized NXT Giving personnel for the purpose of assessing funding potential, understanding organizational needs, or determining whether our services may be appropriate.
This general confidentiality commitment does not replace or modify any separate confidentiality, nondisclosure, consulting, or client agreement entered into between NXT Giving and a client.
5. Giving Quiz Information
The NXT Giving Quiz collects organizational information to generate a directional estimate of potential foundation-funding opportunity.
Quiz results are estimates intended for informational and planning purposes. They do not constitute a promise, guarantee, financial projection, or assurance that any organization will receive a particular level of funding.
Information submitted through the Giving Quiz may also be used by NXT Giving to better understand your organization’s development needs and, where appropriate, communicate with you regarding relevant NXT Giving services.
6. How We Share Information
We may share limited information with trusted service providers that support our business operations. These may include website hosting, analytics, email, scheduling, customer relationship management, communications, cloud storage, and technology providers.
These providers may process information only as necessary to provide services to NXT Giving or as otherwise permitted by applicable law and their contractual obligations.
We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, protect the rights or safety of NXT Giving or others, investigate fraud or abuse, or enforce our agreements.
If NXT Giving or its business operations are reorganized, merged, acquired, or transferred, relevant information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable law.
