How to Stop Shriners Children's Mail
Shriners Children's publishes a fundraising opt-out contact on its planned-giving page. The instruction covers further fundraising communication or a specific type of planned-giving contact. Be explicit about the paper appeals you want stopped.
Use the published fundraising opt-out
At the end of its Wills, Trusts and Bequests page, Shriners Children's directs opt-outs to plannedgiving@shrinenet.org or 1-866-954-1576. This is a published contact, not an email address inferred from the charity's domain.
Specify postal fundraising appeals and include the addressee and delivery address from the piece. Describe any appeal title or identifier that would help locate it. If the mail concerns planned giving only and you want other updates retained, say that instead of requesting an end to every channel.
Please stop Shriners Children's postal fundraising appeals for [printed name and full address]. The piece is [appeal description] and its label shows [identifier, if any].
Please confirm the paper-mail preference and whether this contact handles the sender shown on my appeal. This request does not alter patient care, an existing donation or an estate instruction.
Match Shriners Children's, not just the word Shriners
The cited page identifies Shriners Hospitals for Children as the organization commonly known as Shriners Children's. Do not assume that a letter from a local Shrine temple or a different fraternal sender belongs to the same fundraising record.
Read the small sender line and return address. For a hospital-location appeal, include that location when asking the published team whether it handles the mailing. If the team redirects you, verify the new contact on the relevant official website. Keep the original request and referral together so the next step is clear.
Keep care, gifts and fundraising preferences separate
This guide is for appeals, not appointments, patient bills or medical-record requests. Do not upload a patient letter or send diagnoses merely to prove that a fundraising envelope arrived. The mailing label is the relevant information for this request.
Likewise, a donor dashboard or a recurring-gift cancellation control is not evidence of a postal unsubscribe. Ask for the preference change without pressing a payment-management button. For a genuine donation or estate-plan change, use the appropriate donor or professional process separately.
Ask for the applicable mail window
The published opt-out instruction does not give a fixed postal deadline. Ask how the team will confirm the record and how long prepared appeals may continue. An acknowledgment that a message arrived is different from confirmation of the preference.
If another appeal reaches you after that window, compare the sender, label name and identifier before following up. A second mailing may concern a different record. Describe the evidence rather than assuming that stopping one planned-giving category stopped every national or local mailing.
Check the sender before the next request
Medical correspondence and fraternal notices are different from fundraising appeals. For another unwanted promotional sender, a clear photo helps us prepare the right request. Your first request is free.
