Fundraising

Refund/Cancellation Policy: Thank you for your generous support. All donations made to our organization are final and non-refundable.

Because donated funds are immediately allocated to our programs and mission-critical activities, we are unable to offer refunds for any contributions, including but not limited to:

• One-time donations

• Recurring or subscription-based donations

• Donations made in error

• Donations tied to specific campaigns or events

If you believe a donation was made fraudulently or without your authorization, please contact us as soon as possible so we can assist you in addressing the issue with the appropriate financial institution.

By completing a donation, you acknowledge and agree to this no-refund policy.

- Shipping policy: Thank you for supporting our mission. Please note that donations made to our organization do not involve the shipment of physical goods.

Because contributions are charitable gifts used to fund our programs and services, no items are shipped in exchange for donated funds, unless specifically stated as part of a designated campaign or donor incentive.

If a donation is connected to a fundraising event or promotion that includes a physical item (such as merchandise or thank-you gifts), shipping details—including timelines, delivery methods, and any associated costs—will be clearly provided at the time of the contribution.

For general donations:

• No products or goods are shipped.

• Donors will receive confirmation via email for recordkeeping and tax purposes.

• Digital acknowledgments or receipts are delivered electronically and do not carry any shipping fees or delays.

If you have questions regarding a donation, donor acknowledgment, or any campaign-related items, please contact us at [contact information].
