Third-Party Websites and Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites (“External Sites”). These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by us of the External Sites. You should contact the site administrator for those External Sites if you have any concerns regarding such External Sites. We are not responsible for External Sites and do not make any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such External Sites. Consequently, External Sites may have different terms of use and privacy policies. You should take precautions when downloading files from all websites to protect your computer from viruses and other destructive programs. If you decide to access linked External Sites, you do so at your own risk. If you believe a linked External Site is engaged in fraudulent activity, or activity contrary to these Terms, please contact us immediately so we can determine in our sole discretion what action should be taken with the link on our Website. When contacting us please provide sufficient detail for us to identify the link and fully understand the issue. Using our sole discretion, we may, or may not, provide you with updates and/or request further information.

Use of Donor Advised Fund

We may use a third-party Donor Advised Fund (“DAF”) to process your transaction. If we use a DAF, the DAF shall permit contributors to its donor advised fund to make advisements for re-grants to qualified charities recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (excluding private foundations and trusts) and schools recognized by the Department of Education National Center for Education Statistics (“NCES”). Donors who make these donations through the Website shall acknowledge that their charitable gifts are completed contributions made to the DAF, which will hold and administer the donations. As required by the IRS, the DAF shall have exclusive legal control over such donations. To the fullest extent consistent with its exempt purposes and operation as a donor advised fund, the DAF shall make re-grants to qualified charities suggested by donors at the time of their donation to the DAF. If the DAF determines that the recommended charity does not qualify to receive donations (e.g. it has been classified as a disqualified entity by the IRS) then the DAF will select a different entity which may include Arizona Gives. If we use a DAF, the name of the entity administering the DAF will appear on your donation receipt as the recipient of the donation.

Refund Policy

Donations made on AZGives.org are final, irrevocable and non-refundable. Should a refund be granted in the discretion of Arizona Gives, its delegates or a DAF, such refund shall not be construed as setting a precedent. Donations are considered complete for purposes of this refund policy as soon as you submit the donation through the Website. Requests for refunds should be made by sending an email as soon as possible after the donation was made to support@mightycause.com with the words “Refund Request” in the subject line and a detailed description of the donation and the reason you are requesting a refund. We will make efforts to respond in a timely manner to refund requests, however, we make no promises that we will respond or that a refund will be made. If we determine a refund is appropriate, we may refund all or part of your donation and may withhold processing and/or transaction fees incurred in obtaining the refund.

Taxes and Tax Deductibility of Transactions

You will receive a receipt for your donation stating that “no goods or services were provided in return for the contribution.” You are responsible for all taxes, if any, associated with your transactions including donations and contributions. You are responsible for determining the tax deductibility of your donations made through the Website. If you are unsure, you should contact your tax advisor for assistance.

State Tax Credits 

For qualified Arizona State Tax Credit organizations choosing to accept appropriate gifts via AZGives.org, Mightycause Charitable Foundation (MCF) may serve as a pass-through organization. Furthermore, qualifying Arizona State Tax Credit organizations will be responsible for determining the extent to which a contribution is eligible for an Arizona State Tax Credit. 

Arizona Gives will send an electronic receipt at the time of donation that includes your organization’s donation (and potentially others) that will include the full donation amount, including any donation fees a donor has chosen to cover, which is the full tax-deductible amount.
