Refund Policy
Purpose
This policy outlines the conditions under which Global Pathways Foundation processes refund requests for donations, ensuring transparency and fairness for our donors.
Policy
Global Pathways Foundation greatly appreciates the generosity of our donors. As a nonprofit organization, we strive to utilize all donations effectively to further our mission. However, we understand that there may be circumstances where a donor may request a refund. Below are the guidelines for refund requests:
1. Eligibility for Refunds
Refunds for donations may be considered under the following circumstances:
Error in Donation Amount: If a donor accidentally enters an incorrect donation amount (e.g., entering $1,000 instead of $100).
Duplicate Donations: If a donor unintentionally makes multiple donations for the same purpose due to a technical error.
Fraudulent Transactions: If a donation was made without the donor’s authorization or due to fraudulent activity.
Other Exceptional Circumstances: At the discretion of Global Pathways Foundation, refunds may be considered for other reasons on a case-by-case basis.
2. Non-Eligible Donations
Refunds will generally not be issued for:
Donations made with the intent to support Global Pathways Foundation’s mission where no error or fraud occurred.
Donations that have already been spent or allocated to programs, services, or operational expenses.
Donations made in exchange for goods, services, or event participation (e.g., tickets to a fundraising event), unless otherwise specified.
3. Refund Request Process
To request a refund, donors must:
Contact Global Pathways Foundation within 30 days of the donation date via email at info@globalpathways.org or by phone at 615-943-8926.
Provide the following information:
Full name of the donor.
Date of the donation.
Amount of the donation.
Reason for the refund request.
Transaction confirmation or receipt number (if available).
Allow up to 14 business days for Global Pathways Foundation to review and process the request.
4. Processing Refunds
Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method whenever possible.
Refunds may take 5-10 business days to process, depending on the payment processor.
Global Pathways Foundation reserves the right to deny refund requests that do not meet the eligibility criteria or are outside the 30-day request window.
5. Tax Implications
If a tax receipt was issued for the donation, a refund may affect the donor’s tax deduction eligibility. Donors are advised to consult with a tax professional for guidance.
