Donation Refund Policy
Last updated: April 21, 2026
UNCS Cares Foundation appreciates every donation. We understand that mistakes happen, and we want to ensure your giving experience is positive. This policy outlines how we handle refund requests for donations made through our website.
General Policy
Donations to UNCS Cares Foundation are generally considered final and non-refundable. When you make a donation, those funds are directed toward our community programs serving families in need.
When We Will Issue a Refund
We will gladly process a refund in the following circumstances:
- Duplicate charges: If your card was charged more than once for the same donation due to a technical error.
- Incorrect amount: If you were charged a different amount than what you intended to donate.
- Unauthorized transaction: If a donation was made without your authorization.
- Technical error: If a system error caused an unintended charge.
How to Request a Refund
To request a refund, please contact us within 30 days of the donation date:
- Email: support@uncscares.org — include your name, donation date, amount, and reason for the request.
- Phone: (954) 524-3325 — Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST.
Processing Time
Approved refunds will be processed within 5–10 business days. The refund will be credited to the original payment method used for the donation. Depending on your bank or credit card company, it may take an additional billing cycle for the refund to appear on your statement.
Tax Implications
If you received a tax receipt for a donation that is subsequently refunded, the tax deduction is no longer valid. We will issue a corrected receipt if applicable. Please consult your tax advisor regarding any implications.
Disputes
We encourage you to contact us directly before initiating a dispute with your bank or credit card company. We are committed to resolving any issues promptly and fairly.
