7. Donations and Payments

7.1 Payment Processing

Donations and payments made through our Site are processed by secure third-party payment processors. By making a donation or payment, you agree to the terms and conditions of these third-party processors.

7.2 Refund Policy for Donations

Charitable donations to Friends of Kimbell are generally non-refundable.

Refund requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis at our discretion for other exceptional circumstances.

Tax Implications of Refunded Donations:

Please be aware that if you claimed a tax deduction for your donation and subsequently receive a refund, you may need to amend your tax return accordingly. Under IRS regulations, a refunded donation is no longer tax-deductible, and it is the donor's responsibility to report this change when filing taxes. If a donation was made in one tax year and refunded in another, you may need to report the refund as income in the year it was received or amend the previous year's return, depending on your tax situation. We recommend consulting with a tax professional regarding the specific implications for your circumstances.

To request a refund, please contact us at refund@friendsofkimbell.org with your name, donation date, amount, and reason for the refund request.
