Current opt-out methods for cru (All) mail
-
Email request
Use the Email option on this page and ask Cru 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 cru (All):
Hello, I'm writing to request that cru (All) 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 cru (All). • 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 Cru at +1-888-278-7233. Ask Donor Relations to stop sending you postal marketing.
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. Mail already printed can still arrive.
- Donation receipts are separate. Stopping fundraising mail does not stop receipts or other account mail if you already give.
- Related ministry names can still mail. Appeals sometimes arrive under related ministry names after this list is removed.
Why Do You Receive Cru Mail?
Cru is the U.S. name for Campus Crusade for Christ. Bill and Vonette Bright started it on the UCLA campus in 1951. They now list ministry in 191 countries and a 501(c)(3) that asks for donations. The mail is donor and ministry appeals, not a store catalog. Appeals sometimes arrive under related ministry names.
You get that mail if you donated or landed on a list they mail. You gave after a campus talk, or someone in the house did, and the appeals kept the address.
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 Cru 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 Cru 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 Cru 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.
Use the Email option on this page, or call Donor Relations at +1-888-278-7233, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to be removed from the mailing list.
Frequently asked questions
How long until Cru mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. Donation receipts and other account mail can still arrive.
How do I stop Cru mail for a previous resident?
Use the Email option on this page and include that person’s name and this address, or call +1-888-278-7233, 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 Cru mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Mailing lists are tied to a specific name and address. Send a new email (or call) for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
