Relationship to OpportunityToServe.com

This Site is operated by OpportunityToServe, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. OpportunityToServe.com is a separate website operated by OpportunityToServe, LLC and provides crowdfunding and platform services that are governed by separate terms.

Use of OpportunityToServe.com is subject to the OpportunityToServe.com Terms of Service. Nothing in this Agreement governs your use of OpportunityToServe.com unless expressly stated.

What Is OpportunityToServe.org?

OpportunityToServe.org provides information about OpportunityToServe's charitable mission, programs, and initiatives; accepts tax-deductible Donations in support of those programs; and may offer forms to contact us or apply for grants. Donations made through this Site are made to OpportunityToServe, not to OpportunityToServe, LLC.

OpportunityToServe distributes charitable aid and program resources at its discretion in furtherance of its mission, subject to applicable law, donor restrictions that are legally valid, and organizational policies.

Charitable Donations

Donations made through this Site are voluntary contributions to OpportunityToServe. Except as required by law or stated in writing by us, Donations are generally non-refundable once processed.

OpportunityToServe makes reasonable efforts to honor Donor designations to specific Programs when indicated at checkout. However, all Donations are subject to OpportunityToServe's control and discretion in furtherance of its charitable mission. If a Program is overfunded, underfunded, or cannot be completed as described, OpportunityToServe may apply Donations to a similar charitable purpose or another Program in furtherance of its mission, to the extent permitted by law.

You do not receive goods, services, or personal benefits in return for your Donation. OpportunityToServe will provide a receipt for Donations as required by applicable law. Donations to OpportunityToServe may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by IRS guidelines; OpportunityToServe makes no representation regarding the tax treatment of any Donation in your specific circumstances. You are responsible for consulting your tax advisor.

If you enroll in recurring giving (including monthly Service Army or similar programs), you authorize OpportunityToServe to charge your selected payment method on the schedule you choose until you cancel. You may contact support@OpportunityToServe.com to request cancellation of future recurring charges.

Payment processing fees may apply and may be deducted from your Donation or shown separately at checkout, as disclosed on the donation page. Donations may appear on your statement with "OpportunityToServe" or a similar descriptor.

Grant Applications and Inquiries

If you submit a grant application, contact form, or other inquiry through this Site, you represent that all information you provide is truthful, accurate, and complete to the best of your knowledge. Submission of an application does not guarantee approval, funding, or a response within any particular timeframe.

OpportunityToServe may verify information you provide, request additional documentation, and approve or deny applications in its sole discretion consistent with its mission, policies, and available resources.
