Photo, Video & Media Release.

Men and Women of Might Foundation (“Foundation,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses photography, video, audio recordings, interviews, testimonials, and other media to document our programs, celebrate participants, demonstrate community impact, educate the public, promote upcoming programs, support fundraising efforts, and advance our mission.

This Photo, Video & Media Release Policy explains how the Foundation may capture, use, store, publish, and distribute media involving members, volunteers, mentors, donors, event attendees, parents/guardians, youth participants, and other individuals involved in Foundation activities.

Because the Foundation may serve youth, additional safeguards apply when identifiable minors are photographed, filmed, interviewed, or otherwise recorded.

This policy may apply to:

Collectively, these materials may be referred to as “Media.”

Media may be captured during Foundation-authorized activities, including:

Media may be captured by Foundation staff, volunteers, mentors, or approved photographers and videographers, during activities where photography or recording is reasonably expected to occur and has been announced in advance.

By attending or participating in a Foundation activity where photography or recording is announced, an adult participant grants the Foundation permission to capture their image and media and to use it as described in this policy — unless they notify the Foundation in writing or at the event that they decline.

Adults who do not wish to be photographed or recorded may say so at any time, and the Foundation will make reasonable efforts to respect their preference.

Media is captured and used for nonprofit, educational, promotional, and fundraising purposes in support of the Foundation’s mission. The Foundation does not sell media.

Because the Foundation may serve boys and girls, any image or recording that identifies a young person requires written permission from the young person’s parent or legal guardian before it is used publicly — on the website, in printed materials, on social media, or in any other public medium.

A parent or guardian may provide this consent through the Foundation’s registration, consent, or media release forms, as part of the program they are registering their child for.

Parents and guardians may decline photography or recording of their child at any time, and declining does not affect a young person’s ability to participate.

Individual names of youth participants are never used publicly without written parental permission, consistent with the Foundation’s Privacy Policy.

Media may be used to support the Foundation’s mission in a variety of ways, including:

Media may be edited, cropped, or combined with other content, and is generally used without compensation. The Foundation does not sell media and does not use media in ways that are untrue or demeaning.

A participant — or a parent or guardian on behalf of a minor — may request at any time that media be taken down or that a young person’s image not be used further, by contacting the Foundation using the details at the end of this policy.

The Foundation will honor such requests for future use as soon as reasonably practicable, and will take reasonable steps to remove media from its website and current materials where feasible.

Media already distributed in printed materials, broadcasts, or archived publications may not be possible to retract, but the Foundation will not use it again going forward once a request is received.

Media is stored securely and access is limited to those who need it to operate the Foundation’s programs.

Media is retained in accordance with the Foundation’s record-keeping practices and applicable law, and the Foundation may keep archival copies of program media for documentation and historical purposes.

This policy is reviewed periodically and updated as needed, consistent with the Foundation’s Privacy Policy. Parents and guardians are welcome to ask questions at any time.
