✅ Donation Refund Policy
For NicholasTedesco.org
Last Updated: 11/27/2025
The Nicholas Tedesco Foundation values every contribution and works hard to ensure donations are used effectively to support our mission. Because donations immediately support charitable programs, refunds are limited and handled on a case-by-case basis.
1. Eligibility for Refunds
A refund may be issued under the following circumstances:
- The donation was made in error
- The donation amount was entered incorrectly
- Duplicate donations were submitted
- Unauthorized use of a payment method
- A technical issue caused an unintended transaction
Refunds requested for reasons outside these categories may not be granted.
2. Timeframe for Refund Requests
Refund requests must be submitted within:
30 days of the original donation date.
After 30 days, funds may have already been allocated toward charitable activities and may not be refundable.
3. How Refunds Are Processed
- Refunds will be returned to the original payment method
- Processing times vary depending on the payment provider
- The Foundation cannot refund donations made many months prior if those funds have already been disbursed
4. Recurring Donations
If you wish to modify or cancel a recurring donation:
- You may contact us at any time
- Changes will take effect for future charges
- Charges already processed may be refundable only under Section 1
5. Merchandise-Related Contributions
Donations associated with merchandise sales (such as “portion of proceeds to charity”) are generally not refundable, as merchandise purchases are not tax-deductible contributions.

We will review your request and respond promptly.
