If you are submitting information that you wish to remain confidential, please clearly indicate that request at the time of submission.
The Mount Vernon Civic Integrity Project will treat communications and materials as confidential to the fullest extent reasonably possible and consistent with applicable law. However, we cannot assume legal responsibility for materials submitted to us, nor can we guarantee confidentiality in all circumstances.
Unless a request for confidentiality is expressly made, submissions may be reviewed, analyzed, and referenced publicly as part of our research, reporting, or advocacy work.
If you have questions about confidentiality or are unsure whether to submit certain materials, we encourage you to contact us first before uploading documents or sharing sensitive information.
We are always interested in hearing from individuals who wish to volunteer their time or expertise to assist with research, public records analysis, data review, communications, fundraising, development, or other project-based work.
