Canadian Feed The Children is committed to ensuring your donation experience is as rewarding as possible, and we respect your right to control the information you receive from us. For more than 10 years, we have worked with Response Marketing Group (RMG) to help raise funds for our programs for children. They know our programs well and are informative, courteous and respectful as they call current and prospective supporters on our behalf.

In Canada, the National Do Not Call List service came into operation on Sept. 30, 2008. The list removes your name for a period of three years from the telemarketing lists of all organizations that place calls to Canadian consumers, with the exception of those phone calls that qualify as an exemption (see below). The National Do Not Call List applies to telemarketing only – that is to unsolicited calls that sell or promote a product or service, or calls that solicit money or donations in lieu of money. Certain telemarketing and other calls are exempt from the list, including:

• Telemarketing calls from a company with whom you have an existing business relationship.
• Telemarketing calls from charities registered under Section 248 of the Income Tax Act
• Telemarketing calls from political parties calling on behalf of a candidate running for nomination or as part of an official campaign for said candidate
• Telemarketing calls to solicit subscriptions for a newspaper of general circulation.
• Telemarketing calls made to a business consumer.
• Calls from market research firms that are conducting public opinion polls.

As of Sept. 30, 2008, consumers can register their home phone, cellular or fax number(s) on the National DNCL. You can sign up online at www.LNNTE-DNCL.gc.ca or by calling the toll-free numbers 1-866-580-DNCL (1-866-580-3625) or 1-888-DNCL-TTY (1-888-362-5889).
