There is no obligation for charitable organizations to get demographic information from donors.
Donors may want to remain anonymous if they so choose. Guidelines have been released by Apra, an association of fundraisers, the "Apra Ethics and Compliance Committee Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Data Guide".

Fines and litigation in class-action lawsuits may ensue from data breaches, which might lead to financial harm.
