At GIVEDIRECTLY, users engage in a philanthropic effort aimed at providing direct financial assistance to those in need. This model of giving does not involve traditional products or subscription services and therefore approaches refund eligibility uniquely. Users who wish to inquire about their eligibility for refunds should consider their specific conditions involved in the giving process.

The following situations may qualify users for a refund:

• Donation Cancellation: If a user has made a donation that they wish to cancel and the request is made prior to the funds being transferred to the recipient, they may be eligible for a refund.
• Account Management Issues: Users experiencing challenges with their account settings or donation records may inquire about potential resolutions, which could include adjustments or refunds in certain cases.
• Donation Error: If a user accidentally makes a donation with an incorrect amount (e.g., a typographical error) and promptly seeks a refund, this circumstance may be evaluated for eligibility.
• Non-Completion of Giving Process: Users who encounter issues that prevent the completion of their donation (such as technical difficulties) prior to the final step may discuss their eligibility for a refund.

It is important for users to reach out to GIVEDIRECTLY directly for personalized assistance regarding their specific situation, as policies may vary and are subject to review based on each case.

At GIVEDIRECTLY, users engage with a variety of financial support services aimed at improving the lives of those in need. Here are some real user scenarios where refunds were successfully claimed based on typical interactions:

• Expired Donation Program: A user enrolled in a one-time donation program realized that the donation request was sent after their preferred date. After contacting GIVEDIRECTLY for clarification, the user was able to request a refund, which was swiftly processed, ensuring that their funds could be reallocated appropriately.
• Change in Recipient Eligibility: A user intended to send financial support to a specific recipient, but after initiating the transfer, they learned that the recipient's circumstances changed, making them ineligible for the program. GIVEDIRECTLY facilitated a refund after verifying the eligibility concerns, helping the user redirect their support to someone who needed it more.
• Account Management Misunderstanding: A user mistakenly thought they had signed up for a recurring donation but wanted to opt for a one-time contribution. Upon realizing the mix-up, they reached out to GIVEDIRECTLY’s support, who promptly refunded the extra amount and confirmed the user's preferences for future transactions.
• Service Interruption: A user experienced temporary issues with the GIVEDIRECTLY platform during a significant donation event. After reaching out to customer service about the interruption, they were informed that a refund could be issued due to the inconvenience caused, which the user gratefully accepted.
