At HelpStrayPaws, we deeply appreciate your generosity and support in helping stray cats and dogs. This Donation Policy outlines the terms and conditions that apply to all donations made on our website. By making a donation, you agree to the following terms:
1. Purpose of Donations
All donations made through HelpStrayPaws are used exclusively to support our mission of rescuing, rehabilitating, and caring for stray animals. Your contributions help fund medical treatments, shelter, food, and other essential needs for the animals under our care.
2. Types of Donations
We accept the following types of donations:
- One-time Donations: A single contribution to support our cause.
- Recurring Donations: Monthly or periodic donations to provide ongoing support for our mission.
3. Donation Process
- To donate, simply select the donation amount or set up a recurring donation via our secure payment system.
- All donations will be processed through our trusted payment provider. We use industry-standard encryption to ensure your payment information is kept safe and secure.
4. Refund Policy
Due to the nature of charitable donations, all donations are non-refundable, except in cases of fraudulent transactions or duplicate payments. If you believe there has been an error in the donation process, please contact us at contact@helpstraypaws.com within 30 days of the transaction.
5. Tax-Deductible Donations
HelpStrayPaws is a registered nonprofit organization, and your donations may be tax-deductible. Please consult with a tax professional to determine your eligibility for deductions. Donation receipts will be issued via email for your records.
6. Transparency
We are committed to transparency in how we use the funds we receive. A portion of your donation may be used for administrative and fundraising expenses to help maintain and grow our programs. We ensure that the majority of funds directly benefit the animals in our care.
7. Donation Acknowledgment
Once your donation is processed, you will receive an acknowledgment email confirming your donation and, if applicable, your tax-deductible receipt. If you donated anonymously, your donation will still be processed securely, but we will not share your personal details publicly.
8. Privacy
Your personal information, including payment details, is protected by our Privacy Policy. We will not share, sell, or trade your personal information with any third party without your consent, except as necessary to complete the donation process or as required by law.
