Donation Processing
Online donations are processed through secure third-party payment providers, including Stripe. Donors should review the checkout page carefully before submitting payment, including whether the selected gift is one-time or recurring monthly.
One-Time Donations
A one-time donation is charged once. The checkout page should identify the selected amount before payment is completed.
Recurring Monthly Donations
A recurring monthly donation repeats every month until canceled. Donors may cancel a recurring donation by using the payment provider’s subscription tools when available or by contacting us at stjudeafricacf@gmail.com. Please allow reasonable time for support and processing.
Refund Requests
Because donations support charitable work, completed donations are generally considered final. We will review refund requests made because of processing errors, duplicate gifts, mistaken amount entry, unauthorized transactions, or other special circumstances. Refund approval is at the foundation’s discretion and may depend on payment-provider rules, banking timelines, and whether funds have already been committed to program work.
How To Request Help
Email stjudeafricacf@gmail.com with the donor name, donation date, amount, email used at checkout, and a short explanation of the issue. Do not email full card numbers or bank details.
Receipts And Tax Treatment
Donors may receive electronic confirmations or receipts from the payment provider or the foundation. Whether a gift is tax-deductible depends on the donor’s country, the foundation’s registration status, and applicable law. Donors should consult a qualified tax adviser for personal tax questions.
This policy is practical website guidance and should be reviewed by counsel for the foundation’s exact registration, tax status, and donation jurisdictions.
