Donation Terms and Conditions
Illuminating Humankindness (“IHK”) is a 501C3 non-profit private foundation located in Seattle, Washington, USA. We operate the website https://www.kindheartedpower.org (“Website”).
These Terms and Conditions apply separately to each single donation that you make. Except as provided for in Section 5, below ”Monthly Donations,” and unless specified by you, they do not form a contract allowing for future or successive transactions. By confirming on the Website that you wish to donate, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
(1) The Donation
We will use your donation at our discretion but within our stated charitable objectives to further our mission to spark the Kindhearted Power, Imagination, and Wonder that promotes Human Flourishing.
Our payment card processor, Stripe, securely processes all payments through the Website. IHK does not retain your credit card information, and Stripe will make reasonable efforts to provide security appropriate to the risk associated with processing your credit card information. Stripe maintains organizational, technical, and administrative measures designed to protect Personal Data covered by this Policy against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, or misuse.
Once you confirm through the Website that you'd like to proceed with your donation, your transaction will be processed through our payment services provider, Stripe. You can authorize Stripe to process your donation from your credit or debit card provider by completing your transaction at the shopping cart checkout on our website.
(2) Unauthorized Card Use
If you become aware of fraudulent use of your card, or if it is lost or stolen, you must notify your card provider. If your card was used to make a fraudulent donation to IHK, please get in touch with us at imagination@kindheartedpower.org for a resolution.
(3) Information From You
Before we can process a donation, please provide (i) your name, address, and email and (ii) credit or debit card information that you'd like to use to fund the donation. Stripe will use this information to process your donation securely. Please review Stripe’s terms and conditions (https://stripe.com/privacy ) to ensure you are comfortable with how they will process your data before donating.
IHK does not share your details with any third party other than is set out in our Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy forms part of these Donation Payment Terms and Conditions, and by agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you also agree to the way we use and protect your personal information in line with our Privacy Policy.
(4) Refund Policy
If you make an error in your donation, please get in touch with us either at our Contact Us page or
email us at imagination@kindheartedpower.org
(5) Recurring Monthly Donations
These Donation Payment Terms and Conditions will only apply to successive donations made through the Website where you have set up a recurring monthly donation. When you set up a recurring monthly donation, your recurring donation will be made on the same day of the month you proceeded with your first donation. You agree that these Terms and Conditions will apply to each donation in that series.
By confirming that you'd like to proceed with a monthly donation, you can authorize our payment service provider, Stripe, to request funds from your credit or debit card. To cancel your recurring donation, please get in touch with us at imagination@kindheartedpower.org.
(6) Charitable Deductions and Gifts Received in Return
We sincerely appreciate your generous support and the commitment you've shown to our cause. We want to address a common question regarding charitable deductions and gifts received in return for donations.
According to the IRS guidelines, you can claim a charitable deduction for your donation, even if you receive a gift in return. However, the value of the gift you receive must be subtracted from your donation amount when calculating the deduction. The fair market value of our gifts and premiums are listed on our website for your convenience.
For example, if you donate $100 and receive a gift with a fair market value of $20, you can claim a charitable deduction of $80. Please consult with your personal tax professional or advisor to ensure compliance with local tax laws and regulations.
We hope this information helps clear up any potential confusion for you. Please feel free to reach out with any other questions or concerns. Thank you once again for your invaluable support.
(7) General
These Donation Payment Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws in the State of Washington, USA, and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of King County, Washington, USA.
We reserve the right to amend these Donation Payment Terms and Conditions any time.
