Current opt-out methods for SOAR! mail
-
Email
Use the Email option on this page. Ask SOAR! to remove your name and mailing address from fundraising and devotional mail. Include the address exactly as it appears on the mailer.
If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for SOAR!:
Hello, I'm writing to request that SOAR! 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 SOAR!. • 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 +1-202-529-7627 and ask to leave SOAR! marketing and appeal mail lists. Have your mailing address ready. A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on hold time and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
Plan on 8 to 12 weeks before appeal letters and gift calendars slow down. SOAR! may still send thank-you notes and tax receipts for donations you make, plus prayer-request acknowledgments you asked for.
A new gift, memorial donation, or email signup can put you back on appeal lists.
Why Do You Receive SOAR! Mail?
SOAR! (Support Our Aging Religious) is a Catholic nonprofit in Silver Spring, Maryland that raises funds for aging religious communities across the United States. The ministry pairs stewardship appeals with devotion to religious sisters and brothers who served parishes and schools for decades.
You get this mail after you donated, responded to a prayer card, or matched a Catholic charitable prospect file. SOAR! says email addresses come from opt-in site signups and that individuals may opt out at any time, which aligns with the Email option on this page for ongoing appeal mail.
How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively
DMAchoice — DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers’ mail preference service. An $8 registration asks participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from SOAR! 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 five years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of SOAR! mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.
PaperKarma — For local mailers, nonprofit appeals, and senders DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app contacts opt-out departments from a photo of the mailer label.
Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
SOAR!’s privacy policy on soar-usa.org describes how the ministry treats visitor and donor data. Privacy questions can go through the Email option on this page. Opting out of promotional and appeal mail is separate from updating donation records or limiting use of personal information under state privacy laws.
