Donor Policy's

At New Palmyra Foundation, we deeply value our donors, whose generosity enables us to continue making a positive impact in the areas of Education, Health, and Food for underserved communities both in the USA and overseas. This Donor Policy outlines how we manage and recognize donations, the rights and responsibilities of our donors, and our commitment to transparency and accountability.

Types of Donations

New Palmyra Foundation accepts various types of donations to support our mission:

  • One-time Donations
     A single, one-time contribution to our general fund or specific projects.

  • Recurring Donations
     Monthly or quarterly donations that provide consistent support for our work.

  • Project-Specific Donations
     Donors can direct their funds to specific initiatives within our mission areas (Education, Health, or Food).

  • In-Kind Donations
     Non-monetary donations such as goods, services, or other contributions that may directly support our programs.

         Gifts made through a donor’s will, trust, or other estate planning mechanisms.

Donation Acknowledgement and Receipts

We provide all donors with a tax-deductible donation receipt for every contribution. For one-time donations, receipts will be sent via email immediately after the donation is processed. For recurring donations, receipts will be provided annually. These receipts include details such as the donor’s name, the donation amount, and the date of donation for tax purposes. Note: Please keep your donation receipts for your records as they can be used for tax deductions as permitted by law.

Donor Recognition

We recognize and appreciate all of our donors. Depending on the level of donation and donor preferences, we may:

  • Acknowledge donations on our Supporters Page (unless donors opt for anonymity).

  • Feature significant contributors in our annual reports or newsletters.

Provide special recognition for major donors, including Donor of the Month/Year or feature stories about their support.

Anonymity and Privacy

We respect the privacy of our donors and understand that some may wish to remain anonymous. If you wish for your donation to remain anonymous, please indicate this preference during the donation process. We will take appropriate measures to ensure that anonymous donations are not publicly disclosed. Your personal information (name, email address, payment details) will not be shared with any third party without your consent, except as required by law or to process the donation (e.g., through Stripe or PayPal). Please review our [Privacy Policy] for more details on how we protect and handle your data.

Refund and Cancellation Policy

While we are deeply grateful for every donation, we understand that there may be instances where a donor may wish to request a refund.

  • Refund Requests: Refunds for donations can be requested in cases of technical errors or mistaken transactions. All requests must be made within 30 days of the donation being processed.
