This offers donors great assurances that their information will be private and secure.</p> <p>Unfortunately this means we cannot release donor lists to you, even though you solicited the gifts and they gave to your campaign. We know this can be frustrating, and have strategies in place to help you reach out to your donors, while ensuring FIPPA compliance. It’s also a great idea to get donors, especially if they are close contacts, to inform you directly when they’ve made a gift.</p> </div></div></div></details></div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-3 views-row-odd"> <div about="/faq/what%E2%80%99s-your-charitable-business-number" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document" class="ds-1col node node-faq view-mode-full clearfix"> <details class="group-wrapper field-group-html-element"><summary class="group-title field-group-html-element"><div class="field field-name-title field-type-ds field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="dc:title"><h2>What鈥檚 your charitable business number?</h2></div></div></div></summary><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>#118520725 RR0001</p> </div></div></div></details></div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-4 views-row-even"> <div about="/faq/do-you-have-any-sample-obituary-language-directing-donations" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document" class="ds-1col node node-faq view-mode-full clearfix"> <details class="group-wrapper field-group-html-element"><summary class="group-title field-group-html-element"><div class="field field-name-title field-type-ds field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="dc:title"><h2>Do you have any sample obituary language for directing donations?</h2></div></div></div></summary><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><h4>General donations:</h4> <p>In lieu of flowers, please direct donations to Simon Fraser University online at give.sfu.ca, by mail to 2118 Strand Hall, 8888 University Dr, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6 Canada or by calling 778.782.4154<donor number="" phone="" relations="">. </donor></p> <h4><donor number="" phone="" relations="">If you have selected a fund and have a customized link: </donor></h4> <p><donor number="" phone="" relations="">In honour of <i>[name]</i><name>’s passion for <em>[topic]</em><topic>, family and friends have started the <i>[name of SFU Fund]</i><name fund="" of="" sfu=""> at Simon Fraser University.
