The terms and conditions that govern your use of the Hopewell website, donations, and volunteer programs.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Hopewell Foundation ("Hopewell," "we," "us," or "our") website, donation platform, and volunteer programs. By accessing our site or making a donation, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
You must be at least 18 years old, or have the permission of a parent or legal guardian, to make a donation or register as a volunteer through our website. By using our services, you represent that you meet this requirement.
All donations made through Hopewell are voluntary contributions to support our charitable programs. By donating, you confirm that:
Recurring donations will be charged automatically on the schedule you select until you cancel. You may cancel or modify a recurring donation at any time from your donor account or by contacting us.
Because donations directly fund active programs, they are generally non-refundable. If you believe a donation was made in error — for example, a duplicate charge or an incorrect amount — please contact us within 14 days and we will review your request in good faith.
Hopewell is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Eligible donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. An electronic receipt is issued automatically to the email address provided at the time of donation; please consult a tax professional regarding your specific eligibility.
Volunteer applications are subject to review and, where applicable, background screening. Participation in Hopewell programs is voluntary, and volunteers agree to follow all applicable safety guidelines, codes of conduct, and instructions provided by Hopewell staff or partner organizations.
