Your Donation Is an Amanah

We distinguish donor restrictions that the Foundation has formally accepted from donor preferences that do not create a legally enforceable restriction. Accepted restrictions are documented at the time of the gift and preserved in the transaction record.

If a program becomes fully funded, a need no longer exists, a beneficiary becomes ineligible, a child exits the sponsorship program, or the original preferred use becomes impracticable, the Foundation may — where legally permitted and consistent with the terms accepted by the donor — apply affected funds to substantially similar charitable purposes. Any change to an accepted legal restriction requires authorized review and documentation. An accepted restricted contribution is never silently reclassified or redirected.
