Brave Souls Rising Foundation is grateful for the generosity of individuals, families, and organizations who support our mission of helping veterans rebuild stability, purpose, and community.
This Donation Policy outlines how donations are accepted, processed, and used by the Foundation.
1. Charitable Purpose
Brave Souls Rising Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting veterans through transitional housing initiatives, mentorship programs, life skills development, and community reintegration.
All donations directly support the Foundation's mission and charitable activities, including program development, housing support services, operational costs, and outreach efforts.
Donations may be applied to specific programs when designated by the donor or may be used where the need is greatest to support the organization’s mission.
2. Voluntary Contributions
All donations are voluntary contributions made in support of the Foundation’s charitable mission.
A donation does not create any contractual obligation for services, housing placement, program participation, or any other benefits. Participation in Foundation programs is determined through separate application and evaluation processes.
3. Tax Deductibility
Brave Souls Rising Foundation is recognized as a tax-exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Donations made to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Donors will receive a donation receipt for their records and are encouraged to consult with their tax advisor regarding the deductibility of their contributions.
4. Donation Refund Policy
Because donations are immediately directed toward the Foundation’s charitable mission, all donations are considered final and non-refundable once processed.
If a donor believes a donation was made in error (such as a duplicate charge or technical issue), the donor may contact the Foundation within a reasonable time for review.
Refund requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may be issued at the sole discretion of the Foundation.
5. Payment Processing
Online donations may be securely processed through trusted third-party payment processors such as:
Stripe
PayPal
These payment processors may collect and store payment information according to their own privacy and security policies.
6. Donor Privacy
Brave Souls Rising Foundation respects the privacy of donors. Personal donor information will not be sold, rented, or traded.
Information collected during the donation process is handled in accordance with the Foundation’s Privacy Policy.
7. Stewardship and Transparency
The Foundation is committed to responsible stewardship of all donated funds. Contributions are used to support the mission of providing stability, recovery support, and opportunity for veterans rebuilding their lives.
The Foundation strives to maintain transparency and accountability in the use of all charitable contributions.
