Donation Refund Policy

Effective Date: April 9, 2026

The Lake Club Women’s Charitable Foundation (“Foundation”) is deeply grateful for the generosity of our donors. Your contributions enable us to fulfill our mission of supporting charitable organizations and initiatives that improve the lives of women, children, and families throughout our community.

Because charitable donations are used to further the Foundation’s mission and programs, all donations are generally considered final and non-refundable.

Refund Requests

We understand that errors can occasionally occur. Refund requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis in situations including, but not limited to:

  • An accidental duplicate donation
  • An incorrect donation amount
  • An unauthorized credit card transaction
  • A technical error during the donation process

If you believe a donation was made in error, please contact us as soon as possible.

Refund requests should be submitted within 30 days of the original donation date.

 

How to Request a Refund

Please include the following information:

  • Donor’s full name
  • Date of donation
  • Donation amount
  • Payment method
  • Reason for the refund request
  • A telephone number or email address where we may contact you if additional information is needed

Processing Refunds

Approved refunds will be issued using the original method of payment whenever possible.

Please allow 7–14 business days for approved refunds to be processed. Processing times may vary depending on your financial institution or payment provider.

The Foundation reserves the right to deny refund requests that do not meet the criteria outlined in this policy.

Event Registration Refunds

Registration fees for fundraising events, galas, social gatherings, and other Foundation-sponsored activities may be subject to event-specific cancellation and refund policies.

If you are unable to attend an event, please notify The Lake Club Women’s Charitable Foundation as soon as possible.

Unless otherwise stated for a specific event, cancellations received fewer than fourteen (14) days before the scheduled event are generally not eligible for a refund due to contractual commitments for venue, catering, entertainment, and other event-related expenses incurred by the Foundation.

When appropriate and at the Foundation’s sole discretion, a registrant may be offered the option to:

  • Convert the registration fee into a charitable donation (to the extent permitted by applicable law);
  • Transfer the registration to another individual, if permitted for that event; or
  • Receive another accommodation deemed appropriate by the Foundation.

The Foundation reserves the right to make exceptions in extraordinary circumstances. Any approved exception is granted solely at the Foundation’s discretion and shall not establish a precedent for future requests.

If the Foundation cancels an event, registered participants will be notified promptly. Depending on the circumstances, participants may be offered a full refund, the opportunity to transfer their registration to a rescheduled event, or the option to convert their registration fee into a charitable donation.
