Brookfield AAZK Refund Policy

Brookfield AAZK is a nonprofit organization. Our refund policy is not designed to be a profit center or to be punitive—it is simply designed to cover the cost of registrations and cancellations.

To qualify as a deduction from taxable income, a charitable donation cannot be in payment for goods or services. Therefore, there is generally no basis for a donor to request a refund of a donation. To make an exception for one donor can disqualify the deductibility of donations from other donors. Brookfield AAZK will not make any such refund except as provided in this policy. Donors who request refunds may not be eligible for tax deductions on their refunded donations.2. A donation made in support of a specific project or program should be spent by the Brookfield AAZK only for that support. If the project or program is cancelled, the donation cannot be spent as intended by the donor. In this case, the Treasurer is authorized to make any requested refund of such a donation without seeking action of the Board of Officers. However, the Treasurer must report any such refund to the next meeting of the Board of Officers. Brookfield AAZK does not provide refunds on donations that we have already granted to a charity
Refunds may be granted at Brookfield AAZK’s discretion. Refunds are granted only in exceptional circumstances, and only when the funds have not been granted to a charity. Some circumstances in which refunds might be granted include:

The donation was made in error, was made in an incorrect amount or the selected charity was not the charity intended by the donor,
The donation was not authorized by the donor

Except as provided in Section 2, the Board of Officers must explicitly act on each request for a refund of a donation. When considering such requests, the Officers shall act to preserve the deductibility of non-refunded donations and to protect the Brookfield AAZK. This means that, in general, the Officers will not grant a refund that was requested merely because the donor or the donor’s family was unable to participate or otherwise directly benefit from the sponsored program or project.
