Email request
Use the Email option on this page and ask UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals to stop promotional postal mail. Include the full name and mailing address you want removed. Copy the template below, fill the bracketed fields, and attach a photo of the mailer if you have one.
If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals:
Hello, I'm writing to request that UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals permanently remove my address from all direct mail lists, including your internal house list and any rented or third-party lists used to source your mailings. The name and address to remove as they appear on a recently delivered unwanted mailer: [NAME] [ADDRESS] [CITY ST ZIP] A few notes for your direct mail team: • I have never subscribed to marketing communications from UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals. • Since I haven't opted in with you directly, the source is most likely a rented or co-op list. Please also flag this address with your list partners so it's suppressed at the source. Please confirm in writing once the suppression is complete. I've attached an image of the mailer for reference. Thank you, [NAME]
Replace the bracketed fields ([NAME], [ADDRESS], [CITY ST ZIP]) before sending. Attach a photo of the mailer if you have one, and keep the reply for your records.

Phone
Call UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals at +1-415-476-3952. 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.
- Care and bills are separate. Stopping fundraising mail does not stop an appointment, bill, or MyChart notice.
- Sister campuses keep their own lists. A UCSF Medical Center appeal in that name is a separate request.
Why Do You Receive UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals Mail?
UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals are the pediatric hospitals of the University of California, San Francisco. In 2014 UCSF affiliated with Children’s Hospital Oakland, joining two campuses that had each treated kids for more than a century. Campuses sit at 1975 Fourth Street in San Francisco and 747 52nd Street in Oakland, plus a Walnut Creek outpatient center. U.S. News ranks them among the nation’s best in all 11 rated pediatric specialties. They are known for fetal surgery, preemie care, cancer, heart, and trauma work. They treat only children. The leftover mail is often a fundraising appeal, not a bill for a visit.
You get that mail if you were a patient family, gave, or landed on a hospital list. A UCSF Medical Center or adult-campus appeal in that name is a separate request.

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 UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals as it is not an active member of the ANA.

Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals 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 the Website Privacy Statement page, or call +1-415-476-3952, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of fundraising mail.
Frequently asked questions
How long until UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals 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. Appointment, billing, and MyChart mail can still arrive.
How do I stop UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals mail for a previous resident?
Call UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals at +1-415-476-3952 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 UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals 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.
