Donors have the right to know how funds are used, receive timely receipts, and request additional information regarding financial stewardship. We are accountable to our partners and communities for every coin entrusted to our mission.

10. Third-Party Payment Services

HopeBridge uses secure third-party services (e.g., PayPal, IntaSend, M-PESA) to process donations.

HopeBridge is not responsible for injury, loss, or damages incurred during events or field operations. We encourage all volunteers to communicate health needs or special considerations in advance.

12. Mobile Money Donations

Mobile donations made via M-PESA or other mobile channels are processed securely through official Paybill numbers. HopeBridge does not collect or store PINs, SMS confirmations, or sensitive financial details shared during mobile transactions.

13. Tax Deductibility

Unless explicitly stated, donations made to HopeBridge are not currently tax-deductible. We operate as a nonprofit community initiative and will update supporters if eligibility for tax-exempt status is formally obtained.
