Generally all designated donations will be forwarded to the organization less any costs for transferring monies. In some cases an affiliation fee and/or an administrative fee (not exceed 3% of the gift) will be deducted. Current affiliation with Heartbeat is a minimum requirement for participation in the program and the international organization is given the option to pay directly or have affiliation fees deducted. (Currently the annual affiliation cost for an international organization is $70USD.)

In the unexpected event that an international organization is not able to receive the donation, Heartbeat reserves the right to return the gift to the donor or redirect funds to a similar international purpose.

Money transfer costs are the fees and charges associated with moving monies from our U.S. bank to the international organization. These may include currency exchange fees and electronic transfer charges.

Funds are forwarded at least quarterly after internal processing. Transfers occur once donations substantially exceed transfer costs to ensure the gift benefits the receiving organization.

Heartbeat receipts all donations immediately when given online. Donors may unsubscribe from communications at any time. Heartbeat never sells donor information.

Only donor contact information is shared so the organization may thank donors. Donors may choose to remain anonymous.

Yes, but such gifts may not be tax deductible. Giving through Heartbeat allows tax deductibility and ensures the organization is vetted and affiliated.

Heartbeat can only process gifts for approved organizations. Otherwise, the gift may be returned or redirected within the program.

Organizations must complete the full application process and maintain at least 12 months of affiliation.

Heartbeat provides the platform but participating organizations are responsible for promoting their own campaign pages.
