Donation & Payment Policy
Donation & Payment Policy
Effective Date: 1st July, 2026
Modern Way Impact is a nonprofit public charity recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This Donation & Payment Policy explains how charitable donations, merchandise payments, recurring contributions, and online transactions are processed through our Website.
By making a donation or purchasing merchandise through our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Policy.
1. Our Mission
Every contribution helps Modern Way Impact advance its charitable mission of strengthening children, families, and underserved communities through humanitarian programs, community partnerships, educational initiatives, nutrition support, emergency assistance, and related charitable activities.
We are grateful for every contribution made in support of our mission.
2. Charitable Donations
Modern Way Impact accepts voluntary charitable donations from individuals, businesses, foundations, and other organizations.
Donations may be made as:
- One-time contributions
- Recurring monthly contributions (where available)
- Tribute or memorial gifts
- Campaign-specific donations (where applicable)
- General mission support ("Where Needed Most")
Unless otherwise required by law or accepted as a legally restricted gift, donations may be applied where they are most needed to support Modern Way Impact's charitable programs and operations.
3. Tax Information
Modern Way Impact is recognized as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Charitable contributions are generally tax-deductible to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Donors should consult their tax advisor regarding the deductibility of their contributions based on their individual circumstances.
4. Donation Receipts
A donation confirmation or receipt will generally be issued electronically following a successful contribution.
Donors are responsible for providing an accurate email address and retaining their records for tax purposes.
If you do not receive your receipt within a reasonable time, please contact us and we will gladly assist you.
5. Designated Gifts
Where specific donation campaigns or designated funds are available, Modern Way Impact will make reasonable efforts to use those contributions for their intended charitable purpose.
However, if:
- a project has been completed,
- circumstances materially change,
- the designated purpose becomes impractical,
- legal or regulatory obligations require otherwise, or
- organizational priorities make reallocation necessary,
Modern Way Impact reserves the right to redirect donated funds to similar charitable purposes that most closely align with the donor's original intent.
6. Recurring Donations
Where recurring giving is offered, donors authorize Modern Way Impact or its payment processor to charge the selected payment method according to the chosen donation schedule until modified or cancelled.
Recurring donations may generally be updated or cancelled at any time by contacting us or through any available donor management tools.
Cancellation applies to future scheduled contributions and does not automatically refund previous successful donations.
7. Merchandise Purchases
Modern Way Impact may offer branded merchandise to help support its charitable mission.
Merchandise purchases are commercial retail transactions and are not charitable donations.
Only the charitable portion, if any, specifically identified by Modern Way Impact may be eligible for tax treatment. Unless expressly stated otherwise, merchandise purchases should not be considered tax-deductible.
Shipping, production, delivery, replacement, and return information is governed by our Shipping, Returns & Merchandise Policy.
8. Accepted Payment Methods
Payments may be processed using one or more secure payment providers.
Accepted payment methods may include:
- Visa
- Mastercard
- American Express
- Discover
- PayPal
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- Shop Pay
- Other payment methods made available during checkout
Available payment methods may change without notice.
9. Payment Security
Modern Way Impact does not store complete credit card or payment account information on its own servers.
Payments are processed through secure third-party payment providers that employ industry-standard encryption and security measures.
While we take reasonable precautions to protect transactions, no online transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
10. Donation Refund Policy
Charitable donations are generally considered final.
However, Modern Way Impact understands that genuine mistakes may occur.
Refund requests may be considered in limited circumstances, including:
- Duplicate donations
- Accidental donation amount errors
- Unauthorized transactions
- Verified payment processing errors
Refund requests should be submitted promptly after the transaction.
Each request will be reviewed individually, and approval remains at the sole discretion of Modern Way Impact, subject to applicable law and payment processor requirements.
11. Merchandise Refunds
Refunds relating to merchandise purchases are governed by our Shipping, Returns & Merchandise Policy.
Because many merchandise items are custom produced after purchase through third-party fulfillment partners, different refund and replacement conditions apply.
12. Fraud Prevention
Modern Way Impact reserves the right to delay, decline, cancel, or investigate any transaction that appears to involve:
- Fraud
- Unauthorized payment methods
- Identity theft
- Chargeback abuse
- Payment processing errors
- Suspicious purchasing activity
- Violations of applicable laws
Additional verification may be requested before completing certain transactions.
13. Chargebacks
If a payment dispute or chargeback is initiated, Modern Way Impact may cooperate with payment processors and financial institutions by providing documentation relating to the transaction.
Whenever possible, donors and customers are encouraged to contact Modern Way Impact directly before initiating a chargeback so that concerns may be reviewed and resolved promptly.
14. Pricing and Currency
Unless otherwise stated, all prices displayed on the Website are shown in U.S. Dollars (USD).
Applicable taxes, shipping charges, customs fees, duties, or other charges may apply depending on the destination and applicable laws.
International customers are responsible for any taxes, duties, or import charges assessed by their local authorities unless otherwise stated.
15. Errors and Corrections
Occasionally, pricing, product descriptions, donation options, payment information, or other Website content may contain typographical, technical, or administrative errors.
Modern Way Impact reserves the right to correct such errors, update information, or cancel affected transactions where appropriate.
16. Changes to this Policy
Modern Way Impact may update this Donation & Payment Policy at any time to reflect changes in legal requirements, payment providers, operational practices, or organizational policies.
Updated versions become effective upon publication unless otherwise stated.
