Current opt-out methods for Alliance Defending Freedom mail
-
PaperKarma app
Photograph the Alliance Defending Freedom appeal. PaperKarma files the opt-out for you.
Once you opt out of this sender, you can opt out of 100,000+ other mailers in the same app.
-
Phone
Call Alliance Defending Freedom at +1-800-835-5233. Ask them to stop fundraising mail for the name and address on the mailer.
A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. An appeal already labeled can still arrive.
- Receipts are separate. Stopping fundraising mail does not stop a donor receipt if you gave.
- A later list add-back can start it again. A later gift can put the address back on a file they mail or share.
Why Do You Receive Alliance Defending Freedom Mail?
Alliance Defending Freedom is a Christian legal nonprofit. More than 30 leaders founded it in 1994 to fight in court for religious freedom, free speech, the sanctity of life, parental rights, and their view of marriage and family. They sit at 15100 N. 90th Street in Scottsdale, Arizona. They report about an 80 percent win rate and 20 U.S. Supreme Court wins, with Kristen Waggoner as CEO and chief counsel. They do not take government funds aside from litigation awards. The leftover mail is a fundraising appeal, not a case update you asked for.
You get that mail if you donated, signed up, or landed on a donor file they use. They may share donor names through cooperatives. The leftover appeal is often an ask after you already gave.
How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively
-
DMAchoice
DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from Alliance Defending Freedom as it is not an active member of the ANA.
-
OptOutPrescreen
OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of Alliance Defending Freedom mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.
-
PaperKarma
For local and regional mailers, coupon packs, charity donation requests, and the large share of junk mail that DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app has the largest U.S. registry, with over 100,000 mailers on file.
Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops Alliance Defending Freedom marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.
Go to Alliance Defending Freedom’s Privacy Policy page, or call +1-800-835-5233, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of fundraising mail.
Frequently asked questions
How long until Alliance Defending Freedom mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If an appeal arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed. Donor receipts can still arrive if you gave.
How do I stop Alliance Defending Freedom mail for a previous resident?
Call Alliance Defending Freedom at +1-800-835-5233 and include that person’s name and this address, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will Alliance Defending Freedom mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more packets to the new address. Call again for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
