I have a question about releasing nonprofit board members' information. A lot of grants require this, but our Board has expressed some discomfort in having personal info, esp. their giving history used in applications.
It was suggested that we use pseudonyms (e.g., Board Member A) to correspond to gift amounts rather than their actual names.
Is this standard practice?
I tried to find info on the Internet about what personal details are considered public record, but didn't find anything.
I'm hoping someone here can settle this once and for all by telling me what the legal/ethical standards are for releasing board members' personal information.
I created a standard attachment with board members' names, titles, city/state of residence, and a few other details. It's watermarked confidential and is only used for grant applications. I'm hoping to create something similar for giving history.
