All donations made to First God are considered final and non-refundable. As a nonprofit organization, we allocate received funds promptly toward our programs and operational needs to serve those in need as quickly as possible.
However, we understand that genuine errors can occur. We will consider refund requests on a case-by-case basis in the circumstances outlined below.
Eligible Circumstances for a Refund
A refund may be considered in the following situations:
- Duplicate Transaction — If you were charged more than once for the same donation due to a technical error.
- Unauthorized Transaction — If a donation was made without your knowledge or authorization (e.g., fraudulent use of your payment method).
- Incorrect Amount — If you were charged an amount different from what you intended to donate.
- Processing Error — If a technical error on our website or payment processor caused an unintended charge.
