Donation Policy

The Reggae Arts & Culture Foundation Inc. does not represent that donations made to the Foundation are tax-deductible unless and until the Foundation has received official tax-exempt determination from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (for example, under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code) and any applicable New York State determination. Donors should consult a qualified tax advisor regarding the deductibility of any contribution before relying on it for tax purposes.

General donations support the Foundation's overall mission, including cultural preservation, research, exhibitions, educational programming, and public events. Donations made as a "Sponsorship" of a specific initiative — The Reggae Museum, The Reggae Institute, Reggae Honors, Roots Rock Style, or the Jamrock Awards — will be directed toward that initiative to the extent reasonably practicable.

Unless expressly stated otherwise at the time of a specific offer, donations to the Foundation are not made in exchange for goods or services, and donors do not receive anything of material value in return for a standard donation.

Online donation processing on this Site is not yet active. Once enabled, donations will be processed through a secure, reputable third-party payment provider, and this policy will be updated to reflect the provider's terms and any applicable processing fees.

If you believe a donation was made in error — for example, a duplicate transaction or an incorrect amount — please contact us within thirty (30) days of the transaction. Refund requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis at the Foundation's discretion.

Donors may request to remain anonymous or to be excluded from any public donor recognition. Otherwise, the Foundation may recognize donors and founding partners in connection with its programs, in a manner consistent with our Privacy Policy.
