Donation Policy

Online donations made through VDFD.org are processed using Givebutter, VDF's third-party fundraising platform.

Donors may be offered available payment methods, giving frequencies, processing-fee options, optional Givebutter tips, and communication preferences through the Givebutter interface. These options may be controlled by Givebutter and may change over time.

Where offered through the donation interface, donors may choose between one-time and recurring contributions.

Recurring contributions continue according to the frequency and authorization selected by the donor until changed or canceled according to the applicable donation-platform procedures.

The donation checkout may offer donors the opportunity to cover transaction-related fees, and may offer an optional tip to Givebutter.

An optional Givebutter tip is paid to Givebutter and is separate from your charitable contribution to VDF.

Donors may receive an electronic transaction receipt or acknowledgment following an online contribution.

Donors should retain donation receipts and consult their tax adviser regarding the deductibility of any contribution based on their individual circumstances and applicable law.

Donations to Visions and Dreams Foundation Inc. are generally considered final. If a donation was made in error, was submitted for an incorrect amount, was unauthorized, or involves another exceptional circumstance, the donor may contact VDF at Info@vdfd.org to request review.

Refund requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed. Any approved refund is subject to the policies, eligibility requirements, processing limitations, and available refund methods of VDF's applicable fundraising and payment providers, including Givebutter.

When processed through Givebutter, refunds are generally returned to the original payment method. Processing times and refund eligibility may vary depending on the payment method and circumstances of the transaction.

If a charitable contribution is refunded, the donor should not use the original donation receipt to claim a charitable deduction for the refunded amount.

If VDF provides goods or services in exchange for a contribution, information concerning those goods or services may be included in the applicable acknowledgment when required.

When VDF expressly offers donors the ability to designate a contribution for a particular program, initiative, or purpose, VDF will endeavor to use those funds consistently with the stated designation, subject to applicable law and organizational requirements.

Unless a specific designation is expressly accepted by VDF, contributions may be used to support VDF's charitable programs, services, operations, and mission-related needs.

Donor information is handled in accordance with VDF's Privacy Policy and, for donations processed through Givebutter, the applicable Givebutter Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab).
