Frequently Asked Questions

What is considered a "reasonable period" for submitting a refund request?

We consider requests submitted within 30 days of the donation date as reasonable. However, in cases of technical errors or duplicate transactions, we may consider requests beyond this period. Please contact us as soon as you identify any issues with your donation.

What information should I include in my refund request?

Please include: 1) Your full name, 2) Email address used for donation, 3) Date of donation, 4) Donation amount, 5) Transaction ID or reference number, 6) Reason for refund request, and 7) Any supporting documentation or screenshots if applicable.

How long does the refund review process take?

We aim to review all refund requests within 7-10 business days of receipt. During peak donation periods, this may take slightly longer. We will acknowledge receipt of your request and keep you informed throughout the process.

Will I receive a tax receipt for a refunded donation?

If your donation is refunded, the corresponding tax receipt becomes invalid. We recommend consulting with a tax professional regarding how to handle this situation in your tax filings. We can provide documentation of the refund if needed.

What happens if my refund request is denied?

If your refund request is denied, we will provide a written explanation of the decision. You may request additional clarification or appeal the decision by providing new information not previously considered. All decisions are made with careful consideration of our policy and mission.

Important Information

All refund decisions are final and made in accordance with our organizational policies and the laws of Nepal. We appreciate your understanding that as a nonprofit organization, our primary focus is on serving communities in need, and refunds can impact our ability to deliver essential services.
