At Optu Foundation, we are committed to transparency and accountability in how we handle donations. This Donation Policy outlines how donations are accepted, used, and managed to ensure that your support makes a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need.
1. Types of Donations
We accept the following types of donations:
- Monetary Donations: Donations can be made online via our website, through bank transfers, or via cheque.
- In-Kind Donations: We also accept goods or services, such as educational materials, clothing, medical supplies, or volunteer time.
- Corporate Donations: Companies can contribute through one-time donations, sponsorships, or ongoing partnerships.
2. How Donations are Used
Donations are used in alignment with the core mission of Optu Foundation. The funds will be directed toward:
- Promoting education and skill development
- Organizing health and wellness programs
- Running environmental sustainability initiatives
- Supporting social welfare, including combating drug abuse and poverty
We strive to use the majority of your donation directly in program activities. A small portion may be used for administrative and operational expenses to ensure the smooth functioning of the foundation.
3. Donation Processing
All donations made through our website are securely processed using trusted payment gateways. Upon successful donation, a receipt will be provided for your records. Donations are typically processed immediately, though it may take up to 72 hours for bank transfers to be reflected.
4. Refund Policy
Donations to Optu Foundation are non-refundable. Once a donation is made, it cannot be reversed, except in cases where a technical error occurred during processing. If you believe there has been an error in your donation, please contact us immediately at Onepathtounitefoundation@gmail.com.
5. Tax Benefits
Optu Foundation is a registered non-profit organization, and donations may be eligible for tax deductions under applicable laws. Donors will receive a receipt with all necessary information for tax purposes. Please consult with a tax advisor to understand the full benefits.
6. Acknowledgement of Donations
We acknowledge all donations with a thank-you letter or receipt, either digitally or physically, depending on the mode of donation. Major donations or sponsorships may be recognized publicly on our website or social media channels unless the donor prefers anonymity.
7. Confidentiality
We respect the privacy of our donors and will not share personal information with any third parties, except as required by law. Donors can remain anonymous if they prefer.
