Donation & Refund Policy

Clear, transparent standards governing charitable contributions, donor privacy, tax compliance, and financial stewardship.

<strong style="color: #244B3B;">Donor Trust &amp; Accountability Guarantee:</strong><br>Dreamnest Foundation is dedicated to the highest standards of financial transparency and community stewardship. Every rupee contributed directly supports grassroots interventions in Chhattisgarh.

1. Principles of Voluntary Giving

Donations made to Dreamnest Foundation are voluntary charitable contributions aimed at supporting our six core initiatives: Health &amp; Nutrition, Education, Women Empowerment, Skill Development, Natural Resource Management, and Climate Change. Contributions are utilized towards validated field programs and essential operations in Chhattisgarh.

2. Donation Channels

Donors may support our initiatives through official channels: online payment gateways on our website, direct bank transfer (NEFT / RTGS / IMPS), or Unified Payments Interface (UPI). Dreamnest Foundation never solicits cash collections through unauthorized third-party representatives.

3. Tax Exemption & Donation Receipts (80G Guidance)

Contributions from Indian taxpayers are eligible for tax benefits under Section 80G of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, subject to verified statutory registrations. Providing your valid PAN and mailing address is mandatory to enable annual Form 10BE filing and receipt dispatch. Digital receipts are issued within 7 to 10 business days.

4. Foreign Contributions Compliance (FCRA)

In compliance with the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA), contributions from foreign nationals or overseas bank accounts can only be accepted when FCRA registration is active. Currently, donations are accepted exclusively from domestic Indian banking sources in Indian Rupees (INR).

5. Cancellation and Refund Policy

As donations represent voluntary charitable transfers committed to scheduled field interventions, refund requests are generally not entertained once processed. In verified cases of technical error (such as duplicate debits), written refund applications must be submitted within 7 business days to dreamnestfoundation@gmail.com with proof of payment.

6. Payment Security & Donor Support Desk

Dreamnest Foundation never stores credit/debit card numbers, CVVs, or net banking passwords. All online donations are processed through RBI-authorized, 256-bit SSL encrypted, PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways. For receipt inquiries, email us at dreamnestfoundation@gmail.com.
