The Roy Foundation — Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: August 01,2026

Welcome to The Roy Foundation's website (theroyfoundations.org). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of our website and any donations made through it. By accessing this website or making a donation, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use this website.

1. About The Roy Foundation

The Roy Foundation is a [state-registered nonprofit organization / organization in the process of applying for federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status — update once status changes]. We fund medical care for children with congenital conditions, cardiac patients, cancer patients, and women's health.

2. Donations

How Donations Are Used

100% of the donation amount you contribute goes directly to patient care. Our founders personally cover all operating and administrative costs, including payment processing fees, so no portion of your donation is deducted for overhead.

Payment Processing

All donations are processed securely through Stripe, a third-party payment processor. We do not directly collect or store your full payment card details. By making a donation, you also agree to Stripe's own terms of service and privacy policy.

Tax-Deductibility

[If not yet 501(c)(3):] The Roy Foundation's federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status is currently pending. Donations made at this time are not tax-deductible. We will update this page and notify past donors once our 501(c)(3) status is officially granted by the IRS.

[Refund Policy

Donations made to The Roy Foundation are generally non-refundable, as funds are allocated directly to patient care. If you believe a donation was made in error (for example, a duplicate charge or an incorrect amount), please contact us within 14 days at [insert contact email], and we will review the request on a case-by-case basis.

Donation Errors

While we take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of our donation processing, we are not responsible for errors caused by third-party payment processors, your financial institution, or issues arising from incorrect information you provide during checkout.
