Donations are not tax-deductible
A gift to this project is not tax-deductible as a charitable contribution under U.S. law. Please do not claim a charitable deduction for it. If you need tax advice, please speak with a qualified advisor. We cannot give tax advice.
Voluntary gifts
Donations are voluntary. You are not required to give in order to visit the Site, use the community board, or (for the museum) submit work. A gift does not buy you editorial control, a guaranteed exhibit, or ownership of the project.
How funds are used
Every dollar, after processor fees, goes toward hosting, printing, and growing The People's Folk Art Museum — for example, keeping the website online, printing pamphlets and labels, and the ordinary costs of building a small grassroots museum. We will not use gifts as personal spending money unrelated to the project.
How payments are handled
Payments are processed by a third party such as PayPal, and later perhaps Ko-fi, Venmo, or Cash App. We never see your card number or bank login. The processor’s terms apply to the transaction, and they may charge a fee that reduces the amount we actually receive.
Refunds
Refunds are not guaranteed. If you believe a donation was made in error, please write to hello@peoplesfolkartmuseum.org as soon as you can. We will consider refund requests in good faith and at our discretion. Processor fees may not be recoverable. If we agree to a refund, we will arrange it through the original payment method when we can.
No goods or services unless we say so
Unless we clearly offer a specific item in return (for example, a print, later on), a donation is a gift, not a purchase.
