7. Donating on SaintsArk

ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation, Inc. is organized exclusively for one or more of the purposes as specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This corporation operates a donor advised fund to handle donor advised contributions made using the SA website. Its mission is to foster the unification of the body of Christ and promote high volume donations and grant making by providing cost-efficient e-solutions for charitable giving that widely benefit the Christian "religion", the Kingdom of God, and is a registered charity through the New Jersey department of treasury, USA.

Normally your donation to a Charitable Cause made through the SA Website goes to and will be receipted by ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation, Inc. (SA) as a donor-advised contribution. ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation, Inc. (SA) makes every effort to honor donor advisements and is authorized to do so for advisements to public charities appearing on the SA Website as Registered Charities. Occasionally, for specific fundraising events, SA will collaborate with other local public charities. In those cases, the event website and other publicity will indicate if contributions will be receipted directly by the local charity, instead of by ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation, Inc.

It is ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation's normal practice to regrant 94% less $0.30 per advisement to the qualifying tax-exempt entity and/or Network, and to retain 3% for platform costs and SA's operating expenses plus 2.9% and $0.30 per advisement transaction for third party credit card processing costs, a total of 5.9% plus $0.30 per advisement. A regrant to the advised charity, Admin and/or Member is generally made on the 10th of the month following receipt of the advised contribution in the previous calendar month (e.g, a donation on July 5th would be regranted on August 10th). SA will retain an additional $5 per disbursement made via paper check, subject to a minimum check disbursement of $25.00 prior to the retained $5.00. To avoid the additional cost and minimums, we encourage advised charities to sign up for direct deposit (EFT) to their organization's bank account through third party services such as PayPal. SA makes every reasonable effort to respect the wishes of its donors. However, to comply with federal tax laws and Internal Revenue Service regulations, SA must retain the exclusive authority, discretion, and legal control over all donated funds. In the rare event that the charity you have advised does not satisfy SA’s criteria or otherwise does not enable (Payout settings) or accept payment (reasons for this include issues like: they don’t or cannot accept donations, are not recognized by the IRS as a public charity, or are not in good standing with federal or state regulators, etc.), SA may select an alternate charity to receive your advised funds.

In certain instances, SA may retain an additional percentage to support the efforts of the charity partner in conducting an event. Any additional retained percent will be disclosed on the FAQ page for the event. For more information please feel free to contact support@saintsark.com.

8. Charged Back or Refunded Donations

In accordance with IRS regulations, the SA enforces a strict “No Refunds” policy for contributions made to the donor-advised fund. However, the Foundation recognizes circumstances wherein reversal of transactions are necessary. These include Charge Back and Gross Error transactions.

A Charge Back transaction occurs when the credit card holder files a dispute with their bank stating that either they did not authorize or recognize the transaction on their credit card or bank statement. The SA staff will provide supporting documentation in an effort to resolve the Charge Back case in favor of the Foundation. However, if the Foundation is unable to resolve such cases and the case is referred to pre-arbitration, the Foundation will accept the Charge Back transaction. Further, ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation, Inc. will, under its variance power authority, not regrant any funds to the advised organization that has been charged back. If the Charge Back funds have already been regranted to the advised organization, no attempt will be made to compel the organization to return the funds since the regrant of an advisement is considered complete and unrestricted. However, the ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation, Inc. will not issue any further regrants of donor-advised funds until it receives additional funds from donors or other sources advised for the organization equal to the amount of the Charge Back.

A Gross Error transaction occurs when then credit cardholder / donor makes a transaction for an amount grossly different than the intended amount. For example, a donor makes a $10,000.00 donation instead of $10.00 donation. A Gross Error transaction DOES NOT include advisements: made to the wrong organization or Network, containing an incorrect name, dedication, or designation, or any other non-financial reason. The ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation, Inc. retains sole authority to determine the exact criteria of a Gross Error transaction. A Gross Error transaction refund will only be considered if ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation, Inc. has not yet regranted the funds to the designated organization. Once funds are regranted, the donor should contact the advised organization in order to attempt to correct the error.

Before submitting a counter notice, you should be sure that you are the actual rights holder of the content removed or that you have a good faith belief that content was erroneously removed. It is important to make sure that you understand the repercussions of submitting a false claim.

A proper counter notice should be sent by replying to the email notice you received, and it should contain the following:

1. Your name, address, and telephone number
2. The URLs of the content that was removed or disabled by us (copy and paste the link in the notification email)

I consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located, or if my address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation, Inc. is located. I will accept service of process from the claimant of copyright of infringement.
