Refund Policy

We are grateful for every gift, and we want giving to be simple and trustworthy.

Donations are generally final

Donations are charitable gifts, and they are generally non-refundable once processed. Donations are put to work quickly to support our programs, and your receipt may be used for tax purposes.

When we will refund a donation

We will refund a donation made in error. Examples include:

  • a duplicate donation,
  • an incorrect amount (for example, an extra zero), or
  • a charge you did not authorize.

How to request a refund

Email info@bayitmiklot.com within 30 days of the donation. Include your name, the date and amount of the donation, the last four digits of the card used, and the reason for the request.

We will reply within five (5) business days. Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method. Your bank may take five to ten (5–10) business days to show the credit. When a donation is refunded, its tax receipt is no longer valid.

Requests made more than 30 days after a donation are reviewed case by case.

Gifts through The Donors’ Fund or donor-advised funds

Grants from a donor-advised fund, including The Donors’ Fund, cannot be refunded to an individual donor. Please contact your fund sponsor about any error. We will work with the sponsor to correct it.

Disputed charges

If you do not recognize a charge from Bayit Miklot, please contact us before disputing it with your bank. We can usually resolve the issue faster.

This policy explains how to cancel donations made to Bayit Miklot Inc. (“Bayit Miklot”) through this website.

One-time donations

A one-time donation is processed immediately, so it cannot be cancelled once it is complete. If you made a mistake, please see our Refund Policy.

Recurring donations

  • use the link to manage your donation in your email receipt, if one is provided, or

Please contact us at least three (3) business days before your next scheduled payment. We will confirm the cancellation by email. A cancellation stops future payments. It does not refund payments already made.

Gifts through The Donors’ Fund or donor-advised funds

Grants and recurring grants made through The Donors’ Fund or another donor-advised fund are controlled by that sponsoring organization. Please contact your fund sponsor to cancel or change them.
