REFUNDS OF DONATIONS
A charitable gift, by definition, is irrevocable.
Therefore, it is not Immacolata Manor's policy to
make any returns or refunds.
To qualify as a deduction from taxable income, a
charitable donation cannot be in payment for goods
or services. Therefore, there is generally no basis
for a donor to request a refund of a donation. To
make an exception for one donor can disqualify the
deductibility of donations from other donors.
Immacolata Manor will not make any such refund
except as provided in this policy.
In regard to Janey's Ride, this event will continue
rain or shine. Attendance and participation is up
to the individual rider/passenger's discretion. If
a pre-paid registrant does not participate in the
ride on the day of the ride his/her registration
will be treated as a charitable gift and will be tax
deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Requests for returns or refunds of special
consideration should be made in writing and
submitted within 90 days of date of receipt. All
such requests should be directed to the attention
of: Director of Development, 2135 Manor Way,
Liberty, MO 64068.
The Board of Directors must explicitly act on each
request for a refund of a donation. When considering
such requests, the Directors shall act to preserve
the deductibility of non-refunded donations and to
protect Immacolata Manor's status as a tax-exempt,
public-benefit corporation. This means that, in
general, the Directors will not grant a refund that
was requested merely because the donor or the
donor's family was unable to participate or
otherwise directly benefit from the sponsored
program or project.
