Donation Terms

1. Introduction

Wings of Aid & Peace (WAP) is committed to responsible, transparent and accountable fundraising.

This Donation & Fundraising Policy / Donation Terms explains the principles and conditions that apply when donations are made to Wings of Aid & Peace through WAPGlobal.org or another officially approved WAP fundraising channel.

Wings of Aid & Peace operates through separately registered legal entities in France and Sudan.

Each entity has its own legal personality and operates in accordance with the laws and regulatory requirements applicable in its jurisdiction.

WAPGlobal.org is the shared official institutional website of Wings of Aid & Peace.

The use of a shared name, logo, identity and website does not mean that a donation made to one WAP legal entity is automatically a donation to the other entity.

2. WAP Legal Entities

WAP France & WAP Sudan each maintain their own independent registration and operating status.

A donation made to one entity is not automatically considered a donation to both WAP entities.

Where WAP France receives funds that are subsequently used to support approved humanitarian activities involving WAP Sudan, any transfer or allocation should be handled through appropriate legal, financial, governance and accounting arrangements.

4. Official Donation Channels & Payment Transparency

Donors should make contributions only through official fundraising channels identified by Wings of Aid & Peace.

Approved official channels include:

WAPGlobal.org official website;
Approved online payment providers;
Approved fundraising platforms;
Official WAP bank accounts;
Approved institutional fundraising campaigns; and
Other formally authorized WAP mechanisms.

Donors should never send money to personal bank accounts, personal digital wallets or unofficial payment channels presented by individuals claiming to represent WAP.

Before payment completion, the donation interface clearly indicates the receiving legal entity, registered country, currency, payment provider, and donation terms.

Donations to WAP are entirely voluntary and must remain free from misleading claims or false urgency.

5. Unrestricted and Restricted Donations

Unrestricted donations are used for legitimate organizational and humanitarian purposes according to mission priorities, approved budgets, and financial controls.

Restricted donations are accepted for specific humanitarian appeals or programmes and are utilized consistently with their documented purpose.

If security conditions, access, or project closure prevent fulfillment of a restricted purpose, WAP determines appropriate action under applicable law, including donor consultation or reallocation to closely related humanitarian purposes.

6. Campaign-Specific Donations & Appeals

Humanitarian appeals are built on genuine, verified field data and adhere to high ethical and transparency standards.

Appeal Principles:

Campaign pages clearly state scope, purpose, receiving entity, and funding restriction type.

Data Integrity:

WAP does not publish unverified beneficiary claims, artificial deadlines, or misrepresented imagery.

Use of Funds:

Donations cover program supplies, logistics, personnel, safeguarding, monitoring, and compliant operations.

Overhead Transparency:

WAP refrains from claiming 100% direct-to-beneficiary allocations unless factually and financially accurate for that channel.

Standards:

All appeals comply with Do No Harm principles and rigorous child protection safeguards.

7. Financial Controls & Audit Standards

Donations are tracked through established financial accounting systems incorporating rigorous reconciliations, approval thresholds, and independent audits.

Record Retention:

WAP retains donor and transaction details in compliance with statutory audit, tax, and accounting standards.

Confidential security configurations and sensitive internal controls are protected from public disclosure to ensure financial safety.

8. Payment Processing, Fees & Security

Payments are handled exclusively via verified third-party payment gateways and certified payment infrastructure.

Important payment security and fee guidelines:

Credentials Security:

WAP never asks for card PINs, full banking passwords, or two-factor security codes.

Currencies & Exchange:

Donations are shown in designated currencies; bank exchange rates and card conversion fees are governed by the donor’s financial institution.

Payment Confirmation:

System-generated payment confirmations are provided upon completion, distinct from statutory tax receipts.

Recurring Donations:

Recurring gifts require affirmative donor authorization and can be cancelled or altered at any time via official channels.

Support & Inquiries:

info@wapglobal.org

Dispute Reporting:

Discrepancies, duplicate charges, or suspicious requests should be reported directly to WAP without delay.

Suspected fraudulent fundraising or impersonation must be escalated immediately to official representatives.

9. Refunds, Disputes & Chargebacks

Donations are voluntary charitable contributions. Requests regarding duplicate or incorrect amounts are evaluated individually.

Refund considerations include:

Duplicate Transactions

Verified administrative or system duplicates are rectified following standard payment processor procedures.

Disputed or Unauthorized Charges

Suspected unauthorized transactions are reviewed promptly in coordination with the relevant financial entity.

Committed Humanitarian Funds

Where funds have already been deployed to active humanitarian relief, refunds are subject to legal limitations.

General Legal Right

This policy does not confer an automatic general refund entitlement where none exists under governing law.

Payment Cooperation

WAP cooperates with legitimate provider resolution channels while investigating fraudulent claims.

Tax Guidance Disclaimer

Information provided on WAPGlobal.org is general and does not constitute personalized tax or legal advice.

Donor Responsibility

Donors should consult their tax advisors to verify deduction eligibility according to their individual fiscal residency.

10. Donor Privacy, Data & Communications

Donor personal data is handled strictly in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and the WAP Privacy Policy.

The shared website identity does not merge donor data: WAP France and WAP Sudan maintain independent data handling.

Data handling standards include:

Direct Processing Scope:

Data is processed for transaction administration, accounting, fraud prevention, and legal compliance;
Making a donation does not constitute automatic consent for marketing communications;
Donors may opt out or modify communication preferences at any time; and
Donor records are never sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Cross-border data transfers between WAP entities or service providers adhere to appropriate international transfer safeguards.

Anonymous donations are accommodated where permitted; however, mandatory statutory identity records may remain required by law for anti-money laundering compliance.

11. Ethical Fundraising, Independence & Safeguarding

WAP preserves absolute humanitarian independence and upholds strict ethical fundraising principles.

Our principles govern all contributions:

Financial contributions do not grant control over beneficiary selection;
Humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality, and independence are strictly maintained;
Donors may not access confidential beneficiary data or sensitive safeguarding records;
WAP may decline or return donations involving legal, sanctions, or money laundering risks;
Fundraising personnel are prohibited from receiving improper personal benefits from donations;
Public donor acknowledgement requires express mutual agreement; and
Fundraising visuals strictly protect human dignity and child welfare under Do No Harm principles.

Institutional grants and corporate sponsorships are governed by formal written bilateral agreements.

12. Transparency, Reporting & Fundraising Costs

WAP is dedicated to publishing honest, verified accounts of its institutional activities and resource allocation.

Operational cost reporting encompasses:

Publication of approved annual reports and verified programme statistics;
Payment gateway and third-party platform transaction fees;
Logistics, personnel, and compliance operational costs; and
Appropriate IT infrastructure, security, and administrative oversight.

WAP acknowledges that effective humanitarian delivery requires vital operational and administrative support.

Third-party fundraising platforms are comprehensively evaluated for security, regulatory compliance, and transparent fee structures before implementation.

Donation & Fundraising Policy — Closing Statement

Wings of Aid & Peace seeks to conduct fundraising in a transparent, responsible and accountable manner. WAP France and WAP Sudan are separately registered legal entities operating under the shared institutional identity of Wings of Aid & Peace. WAPGlobal.org serves as their shared official institutional website. Every donation mechanism should identify the specific WAP legal entity receiving the donation. The shared WAP identity does not, by itself, merge donations, legal responsibilities, financial accounts or donor data belonging to the separate WAP entities.
