Why is monthly giving the best
option?
Monthly giving is the best option for both Greenpeace and our supporters. It
allows us to have a dependable base of support and save time, banking fees and
paper by not having to send supporters reminders and renewal notices. It also
provides predictable funding that allows us to plan and budget for our campaigns
more effectively. For our supporters it allows you to make a small monthly
contribution and still play a major role in protecting the environment.
How is
my donation used?
According to our latest financial reports Greenpeace, Inc. spent 55% on
campaigns, 21% on public information & education, 23% on fundraising costs and
1% on management and general administration. Monthly donors allow us to decrease
our fundraising costs even more. You can get more detailed information in our
annual reports available at
www.greenpeace.org/usa/about/reports.
Will I receive a tax receipt
for my gift?
Greenpeace, Inc. is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization. Because of our
effective work for new environmental laws and policies, contributions to
Greenpeace are not tax-deductible.
Greenpeace is represented by two separate entities in the United States,
Greenpeace, Inc. and Greenpeace Fund, Inc. While both organizations work on the
same mission, they do so through different strategies. Greenpeace, Inc. is a
campaigning and lobbying organization and is registered as a 501(c)(4) entity.
Contributions to Greenpeace, Inc. are not tax deductible.
Greenpeace Fund, Inc. is a grant making organization that provides funding for
Greenpeace's research, charitable and public education activities entities
worldwide. Greenpeace Fund is registered as a 501(c)(3) entity and has limits on its ability to lobby.
You may change the entity you support at any time by call our Supporter Care at

you will be prompted to create an account.
I’ve
renewed my membership but keep getting renewal reminders?
We appreciate your support and do not wish to trouble you with renewal
requests. Greenpeace memberships run on a calendar year starting in January and
running until December. This keeps our renewal mailings cost efficient. All renewals are due in January of the current year.
We apologize if you have already
renewed this year but are receiving notices, our renewal files are
organized well in advance of their mailing. You should not receive future
renewal solicitations this year. If you continue to receive renewal notices
please call us at 1-800-326-0959, Mon-Fri, 9:30am-5pm ET or e-mail us at
info@wdc.greenpeace.org as you may
have a duplicate account.
The best way to reduce the number of renewal requests you receive is to respond
early in the year or to consider becoming a monthly donor.
Does Greenpeace
rent, sell, or share my information?
Occasionally Greenpeace does share donors mailing address with other
like-minded organizations in exchange for contacting their supporters. We will
NEVER share your telephone number, e-mail address or any of your donation
information. If you would prefer we not share your mailing address, please call
us at 1-800-326-0959, Mon-Fri, 9:30am-5pm ET and we will be happy to mark
your account accordingly. You can also e-mail us at
info@wdc.greenpeace.org or mail us

I’m not a Greenpeace supporter but I’m receiving mail from you, how can I remove
my address?
If you’ve received mail from us and you are not a Greenpeace supporter we
may have received your name in a list exchange with another like-minded
organization. We recommend you contact organizations that you have supported in
the past and request they not exchange your information. Alternatively you can
contact the Direct Mail Association and be added to the National Do Not Mail
List at www.dmachoice.org. If these steps
do not address your issue, please call our Supporter Care at 1-800-326-0959,
Mon-Fri, 9:30am-5pm ET.
