A legal disclaimer

Last updated: Oct. 1, 2026

ComicBooks For Kids! is committed to operating with integrity, transparency, and the highest standard of care — especially given that our work serves children. This page outlines our core governance and ethics commitments.

Non-Discrimination Statement

ComicBooks For Kids! does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other legally protected status in our programs, services, hiring, volunteer opportunities, or board governance. This applies to who we serve, who we hire, and who serves on our board and volunteer teams.

Conflict of Interest Policy

Purpose. This policy protects the interests of ComicBooks For Kids! when a director, officer, or key staff member has, or may have, a financial or personal interest that could conflict with the organization's interests.

Duty to disclose. Any director, officer, or key staff member with an actual or potential conflict of interest must disclose it to the Board of Directors before any related discussion, transaction, or vote.

Voting. An interested party may participate in discussion to answer questions but must recuse themselves from voting on any matter in which they have a conflict, and shall not be counted toward quorum for that vote.

Annual disclosure. All board members sign an annual conflict-of-interest disclosure statement, per standard nonprofit governance practice.

Financial Accountability

ComicBooks For Kids! is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and holds the GuideStar/Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency, a distinction held by fewer than 1% of nonprofits nationwide.

We are committed to:

Using donations to further our mission of delivering comics to children in hospitals, service members, and students
Maintaining accurate financial records and appropriate internal controls
Making our financial information available for public review — see [Transparency & Financials] and our [Annual Reports]

Child Safety Statement

Because our programs ultimately serve children in hospitals and schools, child safety is a foundational commitment, not an afterthought.

We do not collect personal information directly from children through this website or our programs. See our [Privacy Policy].
Materials distributed to children are screened for age-appropriateness before shipment, and mature or explicit content is never included. See [Donation Guidelines].
Comics are handled under infectious-disease protocols in storage, sorting, packing, and shipping, to protect the health of children with fragile immune systems.
Note that none of our staff or volunteers have direct in-person contact with children
Any concerns related to child safety in connection with our programs can be reported to any board member.
