10. DONATIONS

10.1    Company has partnered with Visit.org Philanthropic Foundation (“Visit.org Foundation”, EIN: 88-0889841), a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity, to receive all donations made online or offline in connection with a Customer or an employee or independent contractor of a Customer’s use of the Software (collectively, the “Donation Program”).  Visit.org Foundation has exclusive legal control over and ownership of any donations received in connection with the Donation Program, and all donations are final and nonrefundable.  Accordingly, Visit.org Foundation will issue a donation receipt to the donor of each donation (each, a “Donor”) and make any filings required by the IRS for recipients of charitable donations. Donations to Visit.org Foundation are generally tax-deductible for U.S. donors. Company and Visit.org Foundation cannot provide any tax or legal advice. If you are using the Software to make a donation, you will be deemed to have recommended that Visit.org Foundation make a grant to the organization that you selected or that is pre-selected on the website or application you used to access the Platform (“Designated Charity”) in an amount equal to the net proceeds of your donation. Please note that not all charitable organizations listed as a potential Designated Charity have affirmatively consented to being included in the Donation Program.  When Customers select a potential Designated Charity, they will see a disclosure regarding whether that potential Designated Charity has affirmatively consented to participating as a Designated Charity in the Donation Program.  A Designated Charity is not required to consent to be a potential beneficiary of the Donation Program.  Subject to a Designated Charity’s satisfaction of the Eligibility Requirements (described below), Visit.org Foundation will make a grant of the net proceeds of the donation (“Grants”) to the Designated Charity.  The “net proceeds” of the donation are equal to the gross proceeds of the donation minus platform transaction and credit card processing fees of up to 6% (or up to $10 per check for grants dispersed by paper check) of the gross amount of each donation (collectively, “Transaction Fees”).  The Donation Program uses Stripe as its payment processor for all online donations, and all such donations are subject to Stripe’s Terms of Service. During the online donation process, Customer donations are increased by 3% to help cover these Transaction Fees; this additional amount increases the Customer’s total tax-deductible donation. The Donation Program uses Bill.com as its payment processor for all offline donations, and all such donations are subject to Bill.com’s Terms of Service, which are agreed by Customer with Bill.com. Grant distributions are made by Visit.org Foundation on a monthly basis pursuant to the grantmaking procedures outlined below.

​

10.2    Customers can choose to donate an amount to Visit.org Foundation to be held in a special donor-advised fund or account, and make recommended grants to one or more Designated Charities thereafter, which are subject to Visit.org Foundation’s grantmaking procedures set forth in these Terms.  Customers setting up such donor-advised accounts have up to three months following the expiration of their contract with Visit.org to make grant recommendations.  If such customer has not submitted a grant recommendation for any funds remaining in its account by the end of the three-month grace period, Visit.org Foundation or its representatives will attempt to contact the customer to request a final grant recommendation(s) for the remaining funds in the donor-advised account, which are subject to Visit.org Foundation’s grantmaking procedures set forth in these Terms.  

11. GRANTMAKING PROCEDURES

11.1    In order for an organization to be included as a Designated Charity as part of the Donation Program, and receive Grants from Visit.org Foundation, the organization will need to meet the following eligibility requirements: (i) be recognized by the IRS as exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; (ii) be classified as a public charity under Section 509(a)(1) or 509(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code; and (iii) be in good standing with applicable state and federal regulatory authorities (the “Eligibility Requirements”). Visit.org Foundation reserves the right to modify the Eligibility Requirements at any time. 
 

11.2    While Visit.org Foundation will make every effort to respect donors’ preferences, Visit.org Foundation retains exclusive control over all donations made to Visit.org Foundation. In rare instances, a selected Designated Charity may not receive the grant of the Net Proceeds due to failing to meet one or more of the Eligibility Requirements. If a Designated Charity fails to satisfy all of the above Eligibility Requirements, Visit.org Foundation will attempt to contact you and request an alternative recipient charity.  If the alternative recipient charity meets the Eligibility Requirements, Visit.org will grant the funds to the recipient charity. If the alternative recipient charity does not meet the Eligibility Requirements, as determined by Visit.org Foundation in its sole discretion, or the donor does not respond to provide an alternate recipient charity, Visit.org Foundation will select an alternative organization to which to grant the funds, however, Visit.org Foundation will strive to select organizations with a similar charitable mission to the initial Designated Charity you selected.  Please note that Visit.org Foundation will not issue refunds to Donors, except in cases of fraud, as determined by Visit.org Foundation in its sole discretion. Subject to meeting the Eligibility Requirements, grants equal to the Net Proceeds of any donation benefiting any non-consenting recipient charitable organizations shall be sent no later than 60 days after the end of the month in which the donations or recommended donations are made, unless the recipient charitable organization is not eligible to be sent the funds. Subject to meeting the Eligibility Requirements, grants equal to the Net Proceeds of any donation benefiting any consenting recipient charitable organizations shall be sent no later than 60 days after the end of the month in which the donations or recommended donations are made, unless the recipient charitable organization is not eligible to be sent the funds. Visit.org Foundation or its authorized representative will issue donation tax receipts to all donors who donate as part of the Donation Program. 

12. ACCESS TO THE DONATION PROGRAM

If you have access to the Donation Program because you are an employee or independent contractor of a Customer, your access to the Donation Program may be terminated by such Customer at any time and for any reason. If your participation in the Donation Program is terminated, you agree not to access, use or participate in the Donation Program. 

13. NO SOLICITATION OR ENDORSEMENT; OPT OUT

13.1    Visit.org provides a selected list of Designated Charities to which you can request that your donation go to support via a grant of the net proceeds of the donation.  In some cases, we may also display an organization’s logos or provide additional information about that charitable organization, apart from the aggregated list. Be advised that the listing or display of a charitable organization in the Software or otherwise does not constitute a solicitation of donations; Company does not engage in any solicitation activities on behalf of, or endorse, any of the charitable organizations that may be included in the Donation Program, nor does it consult on the solicitation of contributions, on behalf of any organization that may be included in the Donation Program. 


13.2    Organizations that do not wish to be included as a potential Designated Charity in the Donation Program can opt out by sending an email to info@visitfoundation.org. Subject to its verification of the request, Visit.org Foundation will remove the organization within three (3) business days of such verification.

14. MISCELLANEOUS
