Conditions and process for donation refunds at Ananda Living Foundation, published for institutional clarity and donor confidence.
General principle
Donations made voluntarily to Ananda Living Foundation are contributions towards the organisation's mission and are generally not refundable, except where required by applicable law or where Ananda Living Foundation approves a refund for duplicate, technical-error, or exceptional good-faith reasons.
Voluntary charitable contributions
Duplicate or technical-error payments reviewed with evidence
Legal exceptions and approved discretionary refunds handled case by case
Process for inquiries
If you believe a donation was made in error, a duplicate transaction occurred, or a statutory exception may apply, contact hello@anandaliving.org with the date, amount, payment method, and any receipt or transaction reference. Our team will review in good faith and respond with institutional care.
