Privacy Policy

Effective as of January 1, 2026

 

Syla Foundation® is a family foundation committed to thoughtful, values-driven philanthropy. We respect the privacy of those who visit our website and those who engage with us through our grantmaking process. This Privacy Policy outlines how information is collected, used, and protected.

Information we collect

Our website is designed to share information about the Foundation’s history, mission, and grantmaking priorities. We collect personal or organizational information only when it is voluntarily provided, such as when you:

​

  • Reach out to us by email or through a website form; or

  • Submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) or grant application through our third-party grants management system, Temelio.

 

Information collected may include names, organizational details, contact information, and materials related to funding requests.

How we use information

Information shared with the Foundation is used solely to support our charitable work, including:

​

  • Reviewing and evaluating grant inquiries and applications;

  • Communicating with applicants and partners; and

  • Supporting the administrative and governance needs of the Foundation.

 

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

Third-party grants management system

The Foundation uses Temelio, a third-party grants management platform, to receive and review LOIs and applications. Information submitted through Temelio is governed by that platform’s privacy and security practices. We encourage applicants to review Temelio’s privacy policy for additional details.

Sharing of information

Information may be shared internally with Foundation staff, board members, and trusted advisors as appropriate to advance the Foundation’s mission. We may also disclose information if required by law or to meet legal or regulatory obligations.

Data security

We take reasonable steps to safeguard information entrusted to us and to prevent unauthorized access or use. While we strive to protect personal information, no electronic system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

External links

Our website may include links to external sites for convenience or additional information. The Foundation is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites.

Updates to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
