Communication Terms & Conditions
Last updated: November 2, 2026
These terms apply to text-message programs operated by The Association for Development of Dramatic Arts, Inc., doing business as The Orchard Project (“OP,” “we,” or “us”).
Program and message categories
Our program provides two separately selected categories:
- Fundraising and promotional texts: recurring automated donation appeals, gala invitations, and program news from The Orchard Project.
- Informational event and auction texts: automated reminders and updates about events you attend or auctions you participate in.
You can select either category or both. Consent for informational texts does not authorize fundraising or promotional texts.
How to enroll
Enter your mobile number and actively select the category-specific checkbox or checkboxes at orchardproject.com/sms-signup/, then submit the form. You can also select the optional text-message choices while completing our supporter donation form.
Each choice is unchecked by default. A phone number alone, a donation, an event registration, or an auction bid is not SMS consent. Gala tablets and QR codes may direct you to the same public signup form; a staff member recording a phone number does not by itself enroll you.
Consent to texts is optional and is not a condition of donating, purchasing, registering, attending an event, or bidding. By selecting an option and submitting the form, you authorize The Orchard Project to send the selected category of texts to the mobile number you provide. You should use a number you own or are authorized to enroll.
Frequency and rates
Message frequency varies with your selections and event or auction participation. Message and data rates may apply to messages sent and received. Ask your wireless provider about your plan. Delivery depends on your mobile carrier and network availability; carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Stop messages or get help
Reply STOP to any program message to opt out of all Orchard Project texts from the program. You may receive a single confirmation of your opt-out. For help, reply HELP, email info@orchardproject.com, or call 646-760-6767.
If you previously replied STOP and want to resume, text START to 646-760-6767 and submit the signup form to confirm your desired categories. A website signup does not override a carrier or messaging-service STOP block. Tell us if you stop using or change your enrolled number.
Privacy
Mobile numbers, SMS opt-in data, and consent are not sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Messaging aggregators and service providers may process this information only to deliver and administer our texts. Please read our Privacy Policy.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms or discontinue the program. We will not treat a terms update as permission to send a message category you did not select. For questions, contact The Orchard Project, PO Box 237091, New York, NY 10023; info@orchardproject.com; 646-760-6767.
