All information received and handled by Al-Ayn Social Care Foundation (Al-Ayn) is subject to its Privacy Policy, which can be downloaded from www.alayn.co.uk/terms . Al-Ayn may share some information with Al-Ayn Social Care Foundation (Iraq) for administrative purposes.

Acceptance of any donation, gift or grant is at the discretion of Al-Ayn, and it is subject to its policy on Acceptance and Refusal of Donations. Al-Ayn will not accept any gift unless it can be used or expended consistently with its purpose and mission. For donations over £5,000, Al-Ayn reserves the right to request an ID check of the donor.

No irrevocable gift, whether outright or life-income in character, will be accepted if under any reasonable set of circumstances the gift would jeopardise the donor’s financial security.

Al-Ayn will refrain from providing advice about the tax or other treatment of gifts and will encourage donors to seek guidance from their own professional advisers to assist them in the process of making their donation.

Al-Ayn will accept donations of cash or publicly traded securities. Gifts of in-kind services will be accepted at the discretion of the Al-Ayn.

Certain other gifts, real property, personal property, in-kind gifts, non-liquid securities, and contributions whose sources are not transparent or whose use is restricted in some manner, must be reviewed prior to acceptance due to the special obligations raised or liabilities they may pose for Al-Ayn Social Care Foundation.

Al-Ayn will respect the intent of the donor relating to gifts for restricted purposes and those relating to the desire to remain anonymous. With respect to anonymous gifts, Al-Ayn will restrict information about the donor to only those staff members with a need to know.

Al-Ayn will not compensate, whether through commissions, finders’ fees, or other means, any third party for directing a gift or a donor to the Al-Ayn.

Al-Ayn is committed to ensuring the experience of donating to Al-Ayn is as smooth as possible. Under charity law, charities are not permitted to refund donations, except in specific circumstances. If a donation has been made by error or the donor would otherwise like Al-Ayn to refund their donation, they are required to fill in a refund form and return it to Al-Ayn. Al-Ayn will process the request and inform the donor within 10 working days if it is possible to refund the donation.
