Yes. As a covered entity, you must include in any fundraising materials a description of how individuals may opt out of receiving any further fundraising communications. You must make reasonable efforts to ensure that you do not send communications to individuals who opt out.

Go to Section 164.514(f), Fundraising for more information.
