Donor policy and refunds.

Trust is earned in the details of how gifts are received, recorded, acknowledged, and returned when something goes wrong.

No gifts are processed here

The giving form on this demonstration site is illustrative. No payment is taken, and no financial information is collected or stored.

Donor rights

Donors deserve to know how a gift is used, to see current financial statements, to speak with a real person, and to have their names removed from mailings on request.

Gift acceptance

A live organization would accept unrestricted and program restricted gifts, and would decline gifts that carry conditions conflicting with its mission.

Receipts and tax treatment

Written acknowledgment would be issued for every gift, noting the date, amount, and the value of any goods received in return.

Refunds

Mistaken or duplicate gifts would be refunded on request, typically within ten business days of verification.

Recurring gifts

Monthly giving can be paused, changed, or cancelled at any time with a single request, with no explanation required.

Fundraising disclosures
