Last Updated: April 16, 2026

INTRODUCTION

The following terms are a legal agreement between you, your employees, agents, contractors, service providers, and any other entity on whose behalf you accept these terms (collectively “You” or “Your”), and Northwest Mission of Hope, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

By accessing, browsing, or using any Northwest Mission of Hope-provided website (“Website”), You acknowledge that You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. If You do not agree to these terms, You may not use this Website.

This Website may contain a variety of resources including documentation, download areas, communication forums, and other services (collectively “Services”), and software. Your use of any Documentation, Services, and Software is subject to Your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). Northwest Mission of Hope reserves the right to update the Terms at any time without notice. Unless explicitly stated, nothing in these Terms shall be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights.

 

ONLINE DONATIONS AND THIRD-PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSORS

Northwest Mission of Hope relies on the generosity of our donors to fulfill our mission. When you make a financial contribution through our Website or via linked third-party platforms, the following terms apply:

Voluntary Contributions: All donations are strictly voluntary and are made as unrestricted gifts unless explicitly designated otherwise and accepted by Northwest Mission of Hope.

Third-Party Platforms (Zelle, Venmo, etc.): We utilize third-party payment gateways and peer-to-peer payment networks (such as Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, Stripe, or others) to facilitate donations. When you choose to donate via these platforms, you are subject to the respective terms of use, privacy policies, and security protocols of those third-party services.

No Liability for Third Parties: Northwest Mission of Hope does not directly process, store, or manage your credit card numbers, bank account details, or other sensitive financial data. We are not responsible or liable for any errors, delays, unauthorized access, or security breaches originating from or caused by these third-party payment processors.

 

Refund Policy: Because donations are immediately put to use to support our programs, all donations are generally considered non-refundable. If you believe a transaction was made in error (e.g., a duplicate processing error), please contact us immediately so we can investigate the matter.

Tax Deductibility: As a registered 501(c)(3) organization, donations made to Northwest Mission of Hope may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. We will provide necessary acknowledgment receipts for qualifying donations; however, we cannot provide tax advice. We recommend consulting with a certified tax professional regarding the specific deductibility of your contributions.
