Current opt-out methods for The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia mail
-
Contact form
Go to CHOP's feedback form. Send a short message asking to be removed from fundraising and promotional mail. Include your full mailing address as it appears on the mailer.
-
PaperKarma app
Photograph the CHOP or Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Foundation mailer in the app and submit the opt-out. Once you opt out of this sender, you can opt out of 100,000+ other mailers in the same app.
-
Phone
Call +1-800-879-2467. Ask to leave CHOP and Foundation marketing 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
Allow 8 to 12 weeks before fundraising appeals and hospital promos taper off. CHOP may still send clinical, billing, and appointment mail tied to care at the hospital.
Donating, registering for an event, or joining a Foundation email list can add you back to marketing files. Email fundraising also stops through unsubscribe links in message footers, which is separate from paper appeals.
Why Do You Receive The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Mail?
The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is a major pediatric hospital and research center in Philadelphia. Its Foundation and development teams raise money through direct mail alongside email campaigns.
You get this mail after you donated, attended a CHOP event, or matched a healthcare fundraising prospect file. Privacy language allows using personal information for fundraising, which is why appeals continue until you opt out on the house file.
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 The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia 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 The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.
PaperKarma — For local mailers, hospital fundraising 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)
CHOP publishes a privacy policy on chop.edu describing how patient and donor data is used. Fundraising list removal is separate from clinical records and from email unsubscribe links in Foundation messages. Use the contact form or phone paths above for paper marketing mail.
