When you send us this information, it is used for MRA’s internal purposes only and is not shared with anyone outside of our organization. This includes any information you supply when making a donation.
MRA also respects the privacy of our beneficiaries. Inasmuch as we collect personal information that can identify their health and other private details, this information is not shared to other parties without the full knowledge of the beneficiaries. MRA requests our beneficiaries to sign consent allowing us to share their pictures, stories in order to gather resources that benefits them directly or their communities at large.

Is My Personal and Credit Card Information Secure?
Your personal and credit card information is very secure.

When you make a donation your information is protected with VeriSign’s 128‐bit encryption technology. NYCharities.org also employs different security techniques to protect your personal information from unauthorized access by users inside and outside of its organization. However, “total security” does not exist anywhere on the Internet.
