The My Tribute Gift Foundation (MTGF) is committed to preserving your privacy and maintaining the accuracy, confidentiality and security of your credit card and other personal information. This privacy policy describes the personal information MTGF collects by any means, including but not limited to our My Tribute Gift Memorial donor's portal pages and our website at https://mytributegift.org/privacy.html (each a “Site” and collectively the "Sites"), how we collect, use and safeguard that information, and the circumstances under which we may disclose it. By using one of our Sites or otherwise providing your personal information to us, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

What is personal information?

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, "personal information" is any information about an identifiable individual, other than an individual’s business title or business contact information. Personal information may include your name, address, age, credit card information, donation history and banking information, among other things. Personal information does not include information that cannot be associated with or tracked back to a specific individual.

What personal information does My Tribute Gift Foundation collect?

When you make a donation to a charity through one of MTGF's Memorial Pages, MTGF collects personal information directly from you in order to properly process your donation and be able to issue an official receipt for it, consistent with requirements of the CRA in Canada. MTGF also collects personal information from you in this manner to enable MTGF to contact you to confirm your donation and, in the case of a lost or missing receipt, to reissue you a receipt for your donation. This personal information consists of your name, address, phone number, email address, your credit card information, "acknowledgement" or "in memory of" information, recipient charity, your directions and notes to the recipient charity, and donation amount.

It is unlikely that MTGF will need to contact you, but we reserve the right in the event that we need to verify your personal information or to complete your donation. If you contact us by email or phone, we may ask you to verify your personal information so that we may respond to your inquiry. We may also collect personal information from emails, electronic messages and mail you send us, or from telephone conversations with you, for our use to complete your donation and to send you a receipt.

We collect credit card information from donors so that we can process donations. This information is maintained on a PCI-compliant and secure server that is managed by a third party contractor. We also use a credit card processing company to process donations. Where we transfer personal information to a third party contractor to handle or process on our behalf, we ensure the third party agrees to use such information solely as necessary to provide the services to us, and that the third party otherwise handles and safeguards such personal information in a manner that is compliant with this policy and the laws and regulations that apply to MTGF for the protection of personal information.

IF YOU CANNOT OR DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS OF USE OR OUR PRIVACY POLICY THEN DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THIS WEBSITE.

How Does Our Online Charitable Giving Portal Work?

Your donation will be processed through My Tribute Gift Foundation for distribution to your selected charity. Your credit card transaction record will appear as My Tribute Gift Foundation. An official tax receipt for your donation will be issued by My Tribute Gift Foundation. Donations are sent out to charities at the end of each month for all donations received in that previous month. So a donation made on the first day of the month would be sent at the same time as one made on last day. Payments would be sent either by paper check or direct deposit. Please note that the there is 3% + 35¢/transaction fee for credit card processing, My Tribute Gift Foundation collects a 5% administrative fee. These fees help fund the cost of processing all donations, issuing tax receipts, and sending all appropriate information to the selected charity. These fees are assumed by your selected charity, but you will receive a receipt for the full amount of your donation. There are NO additional costs the charity has to endure to participate and accept donations through MyTributeGift.org. According to the American Institute for Philanthropy (charitywatch.org) a charitable organization is considered “Good” if they are spending less than 30% on administration and fundraising costs. My Tribute Gift Foundation helps reduce those administrative costs for charities and allows donors to contribute to lasting memorials for their loved ones.

Tips

When donating online, if the donation form has an option to add a tip, there is no convenience fee. The tip is optional and can be adjusted before you submit your donation. The amount of the tip will be displayed to you before you confirm the charge to your payment card.

Donations

Please do not rely on our information to make decisions about your finances, taxes or legal matters. Consult a qualified professional in your jurisdiction.

Sponsor Charities

Participating organizations have chosen to actively participate in the “Sponsor Program” to be represented in the Sponsor Charity array in an effort to increase their exposure and the opportunity for more memorial donations to be made to their organization. A rate structure is agreed upon and assessed on each donation processed through that program according to each organization’s individual agreement. Giving through that program has helped many organizations realize a drastic and significant increase in net donations.

Convenience Fee

If a donation form has a line item of Convenience Fee. The Convenience fee is displayed to you prior to approving the charge to your payment card. The convenience fee is in addition to the donation amount, so they do not affect the amount reaching the charitable organization. For example, a $100 donation becomes a $101.50 transaction. The convenience fee is directed immediately to a for-profit service provider. According to IRS and CRA rules the tax deductible receipt will therefore only be issued for the subtotal amount.

Remittances

My Tribute Gift Foundation seeks to distribute all funds to organizations provided they have maintained active 501c3 certification in the United States or registered charity status in Canada. MTG relies on the beneficiary organizations to maintain and keep up to date contact information on file with the IRS or CRA respectively. This must be done in order for My Tribute Gift Foundation to exercise care and reasonable efforts to distribute payment promptly, without undue cost and burden to the foundation. In the event that a payment has not been deposited 12 months from issuance, the foundation reserves the right to utilize those funds in its mission to the foundation.
