Donation & Refund Policy

Last updated: June 30, 2026

Sense of Community is a nonprofit organization, and we deeply appreciate the generosity of our donors. This policy explains how donations are handled and the circumstances under which a refund may be requested.

Donations Are Generally Final

All donations made to Sense of Community are considered final and non-refundable. Because your contribution is put to immediate use supporting our community programs — including outreach, education, youth initiatives, and housing — we are generally unable to return donated funds.

Errors and Duplicate Transactions

We understand that mistakes can happen. If you believe an error occurred — for example, an accidental duplicate charge or an incorrect donation amount — please contact us as soon as possible and we will work with you to resolve the issue.

How to Request a Refund

To request a refund review, please contact us within 30 days of the donation date at:

  • Email: info@sense-of-community.org
  • Phone: (240) 249-2485

Please include your name, the email used at checkout, the donation amount, and the date of the transaction. Refund requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Monthly Recurring Donations

If you set up a monthly recurring donation and wish to cancel, you may do so at any time by contacting us. Cancellations will stop future charges but do not entitle you to a refund of prior donations already processed.

Payment Processing

All donations are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card information on our servers.
