We treat data as an asset that must be protected. We employ many different security techniques to protect against loss and unauthorized access.

    2. Management of some donor solicitation and other promotional materials.
    3. The hosting, development and maintenance of our Website.
    4. The online donations process.

The Ability Experience will never authorize Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity or our vendors to sell or share your personal information.

Making a Donation

When you make a donation to The Ability Experience, you are automatically added to our donor database. Our donors will receive newsletters (mail and e-mail) and future solicitations to support the organization. There may be situations where we need to contact you via email or phone if we have a question regarding your gift. For memorials and honorariums, The Ability Experience may provide the name and address of the donor to the family or recipient specified by the donor for a gift acknowledgment.

We want our communication pieces to be welcome in your email and home. We will be happy to remove your name from our solicitation lists if you notify us by calling the The Ability Experience office manager at (704) 504-2400 x5380 or via email.
