Acceptance of any contribution, gift or grant is at the discretion of Women of the World. Women of the World will not accept any donation unless it can be used or spent in a manner consistent with the purpose and mission of Women of the World.
No irrevocable gift, whether outright or lifetime, will be accepted if under any reasonable set of circumstances the gift would jeopardize the donor's financial security.
Women of the World will refrain from advising on the tax or other treatment of gifts and will encourage donors to seek guidance from their own professional advisors to assist them in the process of making their gift.
Women of the World will accept donations of cash or publicly traded securities. Donations of in-kind services will be accepted at the discretion of Women of the World.
Certain other gifts, real estate, personal property, gifts-in-kind, illiquid securities and contributions whose sources are not transparent or whose use is otherwise restricted must be reviewed prior to acceptance due to special obligations that may arise or liabilities that may be involved for Women of the World.
Women of the World will provide acknowledgements of receipt to tax-eligible donors for property received by the charity as a donation. However, with the exception of cash donations and publicly traded securities, no value will be attributed to any receipt or other form of substantiation of a donation received by Women of the World.
Women of the World will respect the donor's intent with respect to donations for restricted purposes and those related to the wish to remain anonymous. With respect to anonymous donations, Women of the World will restrict information about the donor to only those staff members who have a need to know.
Women of the World will not compensate, whether through commissions, finder's fees or other means, any third party for directing a donation or donor to Women of the World.
