CHARITY SEARCH TERMS OF USE
DECLINED OR INAPPROPRIATE DONATIONS
Gifts made to charities cannot be refunded. Whilst
we provide donors with the ability to donate to any of the
charities that appear in our database, there may be certain
circumstances when we are unable to fulfill a donation request. For
example, some charitable organisations do not accept donations,
their charitable status may have changed, or we (Charities Aid
Foundation) may not be able to obtain their bank details or contact
them. When this occurs, the following processes are followed:
i. CAF Charity Accounts and CAF Charitable Trusts
When a donation from a CAF Charity Account or a CAF Charitable
Trust cannot be fulfilled, the amount of the donation is credited
in full back to the account.
ii. Credit / debit cards
Where we don't have the charity's bank details, we will contact the
charity to obtain the required information.
If we do not receive a response from the charity after 30 days,
if the charitable status has recently changed, or if the charity
has declined your donation, we will ask you to select a different
charity to receive your gift.
If we do not hear from you within another 30 days, your gift
will then be passed to the CAF Grants Council to distribute to
charity.
