Privacy Policy

Effective July 15, 2026

The Grete R. Bressner Dance Scholarship Fund (GRBSF) respects the privacy of applicants, families, donors, participating organizations, volunteers, and website visitors. This notice explains, in general terms, how we handle information received through our website, applications, donations, email, events, and program activities.

Information We Collect

We may collect contact information, donation and transaction records, scholarship application materials, program and provider information, communications, photographs or testimonials submitted with permission, and other information a person chooses to provide. Our website and service providers may also collect basic technical information, such as device information, pages visited, and cookies or analytics data.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

- administer scholarships and participating-organization relationships;

- process and acknowledge donations;

- communicate about applications, awards, programs, events, and Fund activities;

- maintain legal, tax, financial, security, and nonprofit records; and

- operate, protect, and improve our website and programs.

GRBSF does not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

Sharing and Security

Information may be shared with authorized directors, reviewers, volunteers, participating providers, and service providers when reasonably necessary for an approved purpose. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect safety or charitable assets, or in connection with professional legal, tax, insurance, technology, or financial services.

Online donations are handled through third-party payment processors. GRBSF does not store full payment-card numbers or security codes. We use reasonable safeguards and limit access to sensitive information, but no website, email system, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Applicants, Minors, and Media

Scholarship application information is treated as confidential and is available only to people who need it for authorized program administration and oversight. Materials concerning a minor should be submitted or approved by a parent or legal guardian. GRBSF will not publish a recipient's image, testimonial, identifying story, or sensitive information without appropriate permission. Media consent is voluntary and does not determine scholarship eligibility.

Choices and Contact

You may ask to correct your information, request deletion where appropriate, or stop nonessential communications by contacting grbscholarshipfund@gmail.com. GRBSF may retain information needed for legal, tax, financial, fraud-prevention, scholarship, contractual, or recordkeeping purposes.

The website may link to third-party services that have their own privacy practices. We may update this notice as our website, programs, or legal obligations change. The effective date above will show the most recent revision.

Nondiscrimination and Accessibility

GRBSF is committed to fair and respectful access to its scholarships, programs, partnerships, volunteer opportunities, and leadership. We do not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of a characteristic protected by applicable law. If the website, an application, or a document presents an accessibility barrier, please contact grbscholarshipfund@gmail.com so we can provide reasonable assistance or an alternative format.

Website information is provided for general informational purposes and may change as application cycles, funding, and program needs change. Nothing on this website guarantees a scholarship, match, partnership, tax result, or other benefit. GRBSF may correct errors and update eligibility rules, dates, funding levels, and program terms. The Fund is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites linked from this site.
