REFUND POLICY

This donation policy for Randallstown Islamic Center (Dawah Center) (‘RIC Baltimore’, ‘we’, ‘us’, or ‘our’), explains our policy regarding donations. Donations to RIC Baltimore via our website can only be refunded in exceptional circumstances (enumerated below).

• If RIC Baltimore (or its appointed supplier) has made an administrative error in handling your donation, for example, if we’ve accidentally taken two payments, we will, of course, be happy to refund. If you believe we have made an error, please contact us at [email protected].
• If you have made an error in making your donation to RIC Baltimore, we will honor your request for a refund made within 30 days of your donation.

To request a refund, email [email protected]. Refunds are issued using the original method of payment. If you made your donation by credit card, your refund will be credited to that same card as used for the original transaction.

• Unless otherwise noted, RIC Baltimore will use your gift for the project(s) that RIC Baltimore determines is in need of fund or as designated on the website.
• RIC Baltimore reserves the right to move funds to support other projects (s) that RIC Baltimore determines is more urgent or if the program that was selected has met its financial goals.
• RIC Baltimore is a recognized as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) organization of the Internal Revenue Code.

A portion of your donation will go toward administrative costs. The financial institution you identify on the donation form is authorized to debit or charge your donation to the account indicated. This authority will remain in effect until you have given RIC Baltimore at least 10 days notice that this authorization has been terminated. Please understand that you must give advance notice to allow a reasonable time for your instructions to be executed.

• In cases when a month does not have 30 days, the transaction will be made on the following business day.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING CREDIT CARD DONATIONS FOR ZAKAT: 

Please consider adding 2% when using Visa and Mastercard to your total zakat donation—this will compensate for any transaction fees deducted from your donation by the credit card companies and will ensure that your intended zakat amount is paid in full.
