How does the national Do Not Call Registry affect MVNU?

Non-profit organizations, charities, educational institutions and other 501(c)3s are exempt from the Federal Trade Commission’s national Do Not Call Registry. The federal government realizes that private giving is essential for campuses to cover unmet tuition costs and other enhancements. Third party callers soliciting on the institution’s behalf are also exempt from the Do Not Call regulations.

What rules must MVNU adhere to when making solicitation calls?

Mount Vernon Nazarene University relies on the financial support of its alumni and friends. Because we care about the relationships developed between the University and our constituents, we have the responsibility to follow these guidelines:

• Telephone solicitation calls to your home before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. are prohibited.
  
  
• Anyone making a telephone solicitation call to your home must, upon request, provide his/her name, the name of the entity on whose behalf the call is being made, and a telephone number or address at which you may contact the entity.
  
  
• Anyone making a telephone solicitation call to your home must, upon request, gather the appropriate information to remove an individual from MVNU’s call list.

Can I have my name removed from MVNU's call list?

Any MVNU constituent may request removal of his or her name from our call list by sending e-mail to development@mvnu.edu. You must provide your name, complete street address, city, state, zip code, telephone number, and e-mail address. We will use reasonable efforts to remove the name from MVNU’s call list.
