Last Updated: June 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Fastbreak Impact ("Impact," "we," "us," or "our") is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to expand access to youth sports for athletes facing financial barriers by providing financial grants to facilitate participation. We are committed to protecting the privacy of the families who apply for grants and the donors who make those grants possible. This Privacy Notice (this “Notice”) explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices and rights you have regarding that information.

This Notice applies to information we collect through our website, our grant application platform, and our donation processes (collectively, the "Services").

2. Who This Notice Covers

This Notice describes our practices with respect to:

  • Grant Applicants and Recipients- families and individuals who apply for or receive financial grants from Impact.
  • Donors and Supporters- individuals and organizations, including clients of Fastbreak.ai, who contribute funds to Impact.
  • Website Visitors- anyone who visits our website or otherwise interacts with our Services.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information from Grant Applicants and Recipients

To evaluate eligibility and award grants, we collect sensitive financial and household information that you submit through our grant application platform, including:

  • Identifying information (name, address, phone number, email address, date of birth, and household composition, including information about minor children who would benefit from the grant);
  • Financial records, including federal and state tax returns, W-2s, 1099s, pay stubs, and bank statements;
  • Government benefits eligibility information, including documentation related to SNAP, WIC, TANF, Medicaid, free or reduced-price school lunch, or other public assistance programs;
  • Household bills and expense documentation, including utility bills, rent or mortgage statements, medical bills, and childcare costs;
  • Hardship documentation, including eviction notices, utility shut-off notices, unemployment records, and similar records demonstrating financial need;
  • Information about the amateur athletic program the grant would support, including program name, fees, equipment costs, and participating child(ren);
  • Payment information necessary to disburse approved grants (such as the payee program, bank routing details, or check mailing address);
  • Any other information you voluntarily provide in support of your application.

We recognize that much of this information is highly sensitive. We collect only what we reasonably need to evaluate eligibility, prevent fraud, and comply with our legal and grantmaking obligations.

3.2 Information from Donors

When you donate to Impact, including as a client of Fastbreak.ai who directs a contribution to the Foundation, we collect:

  • Name, postal address, email address, and phone number;
  • Employer or affiliated organization, where you choose to provide it (for example, for matching gifts);
  • Payment information (credit or debit card number, ACH information, or similar) processed through our third-party payment processor;
  • Donation amount, date, frequency, and any designation or dedication you provide;
  • Communications you send us and your preferences regarding acknowledgments and future outreach.

3.3 Information from Website Visitors

When you visit our website, we automatically collect limited technical information, such as IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, and referring URLs, through cookies and similar technologies. See Section 9 (Cookies) for details.

4. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

  • Evaluate grant applications and determine eligibility and award amounts;
  • Verify the accuracy of information submitted and detect or prevent fraud or misrepresentation;
  • Disburse approved grants to athletic programs, vendors, or families;
  • Communicate with applicants about the status of their applications and with recipients about the use of grant funds;
  • Process donations, issue tax-deductible contribution receipts, and acknowledge donors;
  • Comply with taxing authority reporting obligations applicable to 501(c)(3) organizations and with other legal, audit, and regulatory requirements;

  • Operate, maintain, and improve our Services; and
  • Send you communications about Impact's mission, programs, and fundraising, subject to your right to opt out at any time.

We do not use grant applicants' financial need information to make decisions other than those related to grantmaking, program administration, fraud prevention, and legal compliance.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use grant applicant information for advertising.

5. Legal Bases and Purposes for Processing

Depending on the information involved, we process personal information because (a) you have provided it to us in connection with a voluntary grant application or donation; (b) it is necessary hto administer our charitable programs and fulfill our mission; (c) we have a legitimate interest in operating a nonprofit responsibly, including preventing fraud; or (d) we are required to do so by law (for example, tax reporting).

6. How We Share Information

We share personal information only in the limited circumstances described below. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share grant applicants' sensitive financial or hardship information with donors.

6.1 Service Providers

We share information with vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as cloud hosting, application-platform hosting, payment processing, email delivery, background verification of submitted documents, accounting, and audit services. These providers are contractually required to protect the information and use it only for the purposes we authorize.

6.2 Athletic Programs and Payees

When we approve a grant, we share only the information reasonably necessary to disburse funds to the athletic program, league, or vendor- typically the recipient family's name and the child's registration information. We do not share tax returns, benefits eligibility records, or hardship documentation with these payees.

6.3 Fastbreak AI (Affiliated Company)

Fastbreak.ai, Inc. (Fastbreak AI) is a for-profit company whose customers support Impact, is a separate legal entity. We may share limited information with Fastbreak AI to acknowledge donations made by its clients and to operate shared technology infrastructure, but we do not share grant applicants' financial need information with Fastbreak AI or its clients.

6.4 Legal, Safety, and Compliance

We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or court order; necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Impact, our applicants, donors, or others; or necessary to investigate suspected fraud or misuse of the Services.

6.5 Business Transitions

If Impact undergoes a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or transfer of assets or programs to another nonprofit, personal information may be transferred as part of that transition, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.

6.6 With Your Consent

We may share information for any other purpose that you direct or to which you consent.

7. How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Notice, including to administer grants, respond to follow-up inquiries, satisfy IRS recordkeeping requirements applicable to 501(c)(3) organizations, and comply with audit, legal, and regulatory obligations. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or de-identify it.

8. How We Protect Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information — including encryption of sensitive documents in transit and at rest, access controls that limit grant review materials to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis, and ongoing security monitoring. No system can be guaranteed 100% secure, but we take the sensitivity of tax, benefits, and hardship documentation seriously and design our safeguards accordingly.

Some aspects of our platform permit you to create an account, and when you do, you will be prompted to create a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, and you are responsible for any access to or use of your account by someone else that has obtained your password, whether such access or use has been authorized by you. You should notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account.

9. Cookies and Analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings. We do not use any marketing cookies or cookies to build advertising profiles of grant applicants, donors, or site visitors.

10. Children's Information

Our grant applications necessarily involve information about minor children who would benefit from a grant. Parents or legal guardians submit this information on behalf of their children. We do not knowingly allow children under 13 to create accounts or submit applications themselves, and we do not use children's information for marketing. If you believe a child has provided information directly to us, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

11. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights with respect to your personal information, including the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you;
  • Request correction of inaccurate information;
  • Request deletion of your information, subject to our legal and recordkeeping obligations;
  • Opt out of fundraising communications at any time (each email we send will include an unsubscribe link); and
  • Limit the use of sensitive personal information. 

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 14. We will not discriminate against you, or against your grant application, because you exercised a privacy right.

We do not "sell" or "share" personal information as those terms are defined under California law.

12. Third-Party Links

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites (for example, payment processors or athletic program pages). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy notices.

13. Changes to This Notice
