Donation policy
This page explains how giving is meant to work on the public site so donors are not left guessing about payments, cancellations, boundaries, or what a gift does and does not buy.
Effective and last updated: April 13, 2026.
1. What a donation is
A donation is support for the ministry's work. It is not a purchase of counseling, a guaranteed response, special relational access, or a product entitlement unless the site explicitly states otherwise in a separate clearly named lane.
2. How payments are processed
The public giving lane currently routes donors to PayPal. Payment processing and recurring-billing controls are therefore handled through PayPal rather than a direct on-site card-storage system operated by Dancz Ministries.
3. Recurring gifts
If you start a recurring gift through PayPal, you should also be able to manage or cancel that recurring instruction through your PayPal account. If you need help understanding the lane, contact the ministry before assuming the site can manage every billing change internally.
4. Restricted gifts and donor intent
Unless the ministry explicitly agrees in writing to a restricted purpose, gifts should be understood as general support for ministry operations, publishing, public site work, digital ministry surfaces, and related mission needs as leadership determines.
5. Refund requests
If you believe a donation was made in error, duplicated, or processed incorrectly, contact the ministry as soon as possible. Refund requests should be reviewed case by case. Provider fees, chargeback risk, time elapsed, and already-disbursed ministry use may affect what can be returned.
6. Tax and legal note
Do not assume tax deductibility unless the ministry explicitly confirms its current status. If a donation decision depends on tax treatment, contact the ministry for the most current written information before giving.
7. Gifts the ministry may decline
The ministry may decline, reverse, or return gifts that appear fraudulent, unlawful, materially confusing, operationally unsafe, or inconsistent with sound stewardship and compliance responsibilities.
8. Questions before you give
If you are uncertain about monthly support, tax treatment, recurring cancellation, or whether a gift fits a specific purpose, the cleanest move is to ask first. Clearer conversation is better than pressured giving.
