Donations and Gifts by Users

Users of the Website may make charitable donations to ImportantGifts, Inc. ImportantGifts, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that is qualified as a tax-exempt charitable organization, by the Internal Revenue Service under §501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and operates this website under the domain name "ChangingThePresent.Org" as well as other websites with other domain names. ImportantGifts, Inc. will provide receipts to users of all such charitable donations, which can be viewed online and printed by the User, and which are tax deductible to United States taxpayers for the year in which donated. All charitable donations made by users of the Website are irrevocable.

ImportantGifts, Inc. operates as a donor-advised fund, which is a §501(c)(3) charitable organization that collects contributions from donors, including users of the Website, and then distributes these contributions (less transaction fees and payment processing fees) as grants to to public K-12 schools and to §501(c)(3) charitable organizations in good standing with the IRS, in accordance with the recommendations of the donors. All users of the Website who make donations via the Website, or via substitute methods in lieu of the Website, are deemed donors, and their donations are governed by the Terms of Use, as well as applicable laws, and governmental rules and regulations.

Users of the Website, who make these charitable donations, may recommend that their donations fulfill a specified charitable purpose, are used towards a specified donation opportunity, are given to a specified charitable organization, or used in furtherance of a certain charitable cause. ImportantGifts, Inc. will use all reasonable efforts to comply with the wishes of the donor, in bestowing grants to K-12 public school and to §501(c)(3) charitable organizations. In making grants to K-12 public school and to §501(c)(3) charitable organizations, and in complying with the wishes of its donors, ImportantGifts, Inc. must, however, comply with certain other legal requirements, such as assuring that all grants are awarded only to bona fide K-12 public school and §501(c)(3) charitable organizations, are not awarded to organizations that appear on United States government terrorism watch lists, and are generally used for the purposes solicited on the Website. If ImportantGifts, Inc. is unable to comply with the wishes of a donor, based on the foregoing requirements, then we will make grants as closely as practicable to the donor's wishes, given our mandates as a donor-advised fund.

Grants are generally distributed by ImportantGifts, Inc., in accordance with the wishes of the donor and subject to the conditions provided in this Agreement, to schools and nonprofits organizations that are registered with ImportantGifts, Inc. by the end of the month following the month of donation, but distribution may be subject to further delays for reasons including without limitation bank errors and credit card company holds or charge-backs. Grants to schools and organizations that are not registered with ImportantGifts, Inc. are generally distributed quarterly. ImportantGifts, Inc. may transfer the grant funds to the nonprofit or school via check, ACH, PayPal, or other service.

In the case of donations that are specified by the donor for a K-12 school, Important Gifts, Inc. may either (i) send the funds to the school, or (ii) purchase items requested by school from a vendor partner, deduct from the school's balance the amount the school would have paid had it bought the items, itself, and have the vendor partner ship the items directly to the school.

In the case of donations that are specified by the donor for a specific teacher at a K-12 school, Important Gifts, Inc. may either (i) send the funds to the school, or (ii) purchase items requested by teacher from a vendor partner, deduct from the teacher's balance the amount the teacher would have paid had (s)he bought the items online from the same vendor (including shipping and tax, if any) plus our standard transaction fee, and have the vendor partner ship the items directly to the school. In either case, the grant from Important Gifts, Inc. will be deemed to be a grant to the school, earmarked for the teacher's use. Any items purchased by such funds or shipped to a teacher shall remain the property of the school and can be used only for the students' educational use.

All K-12 2public schools and charitable organizations seeking grants from ImportantGifts, Inc. must comply with our Grant Policy.

Donors's names and emails will be provided to the schools and nonprofit organizations that they choose to support.

Donors may make donations in honor or recognition of a certain honoree or gift recipient (for example, a donation made to a favorite charitable cause in honor of a gift recipient's special occasion); alternatively, donors may elect that their donations are made to charitable causes without any such honor or recognition.

Donors may also elect to provide donations to benefit ImportantGifts, Inc. itself, in addition to donations to be granted to other charitable nonprofit organizations.

These donations to ImportantGifts, Inc. itself are tax-deductible for United States taxpayers, and may also be made in honor or recognition of a certain honoree or gift recipient, anonymously or with donor specified information.

Donors may also elect that special greeting cards or gift items be sent to the honoree or gift recipient to memorialize their donations, but (unlike the donations themselves) such greeting cards or gift items are not tax-deductible for United States taxpayers. Such greeting cards or gift items are provided by an independent third party vendor (the "Card Vendor"). These greeting cards and gift items may not be purchased through the Website unless these items accompany a donation made through the Website.

Users of the website shall not be deemed third party beneficiaries of the agreement between Card Vendor and ImportantGifts, Inc., and all legal responsibilities and liabilities with respect to such greeting cards and gift items shall solely be the responsibility of Card Vendor. This license of rights to Card Vendor to provide greeting cards and gift items, to accompany the charitable donations, has been disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service, and such grant of rights does not affect in any way the tax deductibility of the charitable donations to ImportantGifts, Inc.

Donations and Products: Descriptions and Pricing

ImportantGifts, Inc. displays and accepts donations to fund donation opportunities or "gifts," that are submitted by individual nonprofits, schools, and teachers (each, a "Beneficiary," and it has no way to ensure (beyond the terms of this Agreeement) that those gifts accurately reflect the activities and costs of the Beneficiaries.
 
ImportantGifts, Inc. requires that Beneficiaries that post donation opportunities be as accurate as possible in the description and pricing of those donation opportunities. Each donation opportunity, or "gift," should portray either:
•   a charitable good or service that the Beneficiaries provides (for instance, an hour of cancer research)
•   a cost that the Beneficiaries incurs (for instance, hosting their website for a month)
•   a program of the Beneficiary that the gift supports, which may include a symbolic representation of the program (for instance, 'Adopt a Polar Bear'),

ImportantGifts, Inc. does not want to burden Beneficiaries with the accounting and management burden of restricted gifts. We require only the following that Beneficiaries:
•   only list gifts that reflect actual activities undertake or costs that they or incur
•   set prices for the gifts such that the net amount they receive (after credit card fees and platform fees) is adequate to perform or provide the described gift
•   spend at least as much in total on the good, service, or program portrayed by the gift, within 24 months of the donation. For instance, if a nonprofit plans on spending $1M on polio vaccines and raises $100k (net) for vaccines on the Website, they can deem $100k from the Website to be applied to vaccines and $100k of money they would have spent on vaccines to be available for other needs. A Beneficiary should not, however, raise $100k for vaccines and spend only $10k on them.  
•   remove any gifts that portray activities that they no longer conduct.

ImportantGifts, Inc. and its affiliates attempt to be as accurate as possible in its description and pricing of donation opportunities and greeting cards, gifts and other products memorializing such donation gifts. However, ImportantGifts, Inc. does not warrant that product descriptions or pricing, or other content of this site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or free of errors, and ImportantGifts, Inc. relies on the nonprofit organizations submitting donation opportunities and the businesses providing other goods or services.

All donations and all greeting card purchases are irrevocable when made/ordered.  

ImportantGifts, Inc. welcomes user input regarding the accuracy of all such descriptions and pricing, as additional means of assuring the accuracy of donation opportunities and products memorializing such donation gifts.
