1. Legal recipient of contributions
Global Fund of Palestine is an initiative operating under the fiscal sponsorship of Global Fund for Assistance Inc., a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 86-3361537). Global Fund of Palestine is not a separate legal recipient of contributions. All contributions are received by Global Fund for Assistance Inc..
2. Exclusive legal control
Global Fund for Assistance Inc. receives contributions and retains exclusive legal control over the funds it receives. Any organization, fund or cause selected by a donor constitutes a donor recommendation or requested designation and is not the legal recipient of the contribution. Contributions are irrevocable and subject to our Donation Terms.
3. Donor designations and recommendations
Selecting a fund, program area, project or organization records a donor recommendation or designation preference. It is not a transfer directly to that organization or cause and is not a contractual guarantee that the recommendation will be followed.
4. Ineligible or unavailable designations
If a designation cannot be fulfilled — for example where an organization is ineligible, cannot be verified, fails due diligence or sanctions screening, or where conditions prevent responsible implementation — Global Fund for Assistance Inc. may request an alternative recommendation from the donor or apply the contribution to a comparable charitable use consistent with the purpose for which it was given.
5. Due diligence and grant conditions
Grants and disbursements are made only after due diligence, verification, sanctions and restricted-party screening, documentation review and a written grant agreement. There is no guaranteed timeframe for review, approval or disbursement, and submission of a project or organization does not constitute approval, partnership or a commitment of funding.
6. Receipts and acknowledgements
Charitable receipts identify the legal recipient as Global Fund for Assistance Inc. and may additionally identify the program/initiative as Global Fund of Palestine. Optional platform support is an unrestricted contribution to Global Fund for Assistance Inc. that helps sustain technology, fundraising, payment processing, outreach and operations. It is recorded separately from any recommended charitable designation. No goods or services are provided in exchange for a contribution made through this donation flow. The receipt may itemize the recommended charitable designation, unrestricted platform support and total received. Tax treatment depends on the donor's circumstances; donors should consult their tax advisors.
7. Irrevocability and refunds
Contributions are irrevocable once processed. Refunds are considered only in cases of demonstrated processing error or duplicate transaction, at the discretion of Global Fund for Assistance Inc. and subject to applicable law.
8. Tax treatment
Global Fund for Assistance Inc. is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Contributions may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by U.S. law. No representation is made regarding tax treatment outside the United States.
9. Independent sources and no endorsement
External assessments and data are cited as independent sources. Citation does not imply that the World Bank, the United Nations, the European Union, UNRWA, the Palestinian Authority, the U.S. Government or the IRS support, endorse, administer, authorize or partner with Global Fund of Palestine or Global Fund for Assistance Inc..
10. Payment processing status
Online payment is not yet active. It will be enabled only once contributions are processed through the approved Global Fund for Assistance Inc. payment account and receipts are verified to identify the correct legal recipient.
