Giving to AwakenedSky
Anyone may give any amount to AwakenedSky.com, with or without a membership, to help carry astrology to the world. Every donation is divided equally: half pays for marketing AwakenedSky to the world, and half pays for maintaining the portal, with its engine and its member tools. The division is applied to the amount we receive after the card processing fee, and we keep a ledger that records each donation and its two halves [the author confirms the fee rule and whether yearly totals are published]. These two purposes are the only uses of a donation, as they are described here and on the donation form.
Tax status
[Tax Status Statement. Default text until counsel confirms the entity's status: "Donations to AwakenedSky are not tax deductible as charitable contributions. [Legal Entity Name] is not an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and a donation is a voluntary payment to support AwakenedSky." If the entity holds 501(c)(3) status, replace this with: "[Legal Entity Name] is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, EIN [EIN]. Donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law, and no goods or services are provided in exchange for a donation."]
Nothing is given in return
A donation is a gift, and it buys nothing. It gives no membership, no feature, no report, no priority, no say in the running of AwakenedSky and no other goods or services, and members who donate keep the same membership as every other member. The donation form is separate from every purchase, and a donation is never added to a subscription or to an order without the donor's own choice on that form.
How donations are made
Donations are made on the donation form on AwakenedSky.com and processed by Stripe, our payment processor, as a one-time card payment in United States dollars. Stripe sends a receipt by email with the amount, the date and the name of [Legal Entity Name]. We keep the donor's name, email, amount and date for our records and our taxes, and we never store card numbers. Donors' names are never published without their permission, and our Privacy Policy describes how we handle the rest of this information.
Refunds of donations
Donations are final, because each one is divided and spent for the purposes described above. A donation made by mistake, such as a wrong amount or a duplicate payment, is refunded in full when the donor writes to [support email] within [30 days] of the payment. A donation made with a card used without the cardholder's permission is refunded to the card as soon as we learn of it.
Questions
Questions about donations, the ledger or a receipt go to [support email]. A donor who needs a statement of their donations for their own records may ask for one at the same address, and we send it within [14 days]. This statement lists each donation with its date and amount, and it states that nothing was given in return.
