All donations made to this Social Impact Campaign are irrevocably transferred to Rekonect, A New Jersey Nonprofit Corporation (“Rekonect”), upon receipt and immediately become the sole property of Rekonect. Donors and campaign managers acknowledge that no ownership, control, or rights are retained in such donations once received, and that all donations are non-refundable except at Rekonect’s sole discretion.

Recommendations for disbursements from this Social Impact Campaign are advisory only. Rekonect retains exclusive legal ownership, authority, and discretion over all disbursal and grant decisions. Disbursements will be made solely for charitable purposes consistent with Rekonect’s exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and may be declined for any reason, including non-compliance with applicable law or Rekonect’s policies.

Donations to this Social Impact Campaign are subject to the following fees, each calculated on the gross amount of the applicable donation or disbursement and deducted before crediting the Social Impact Campaign balance (or, where noted, deducted at the time of disbursement):

• Platform Fee — 6.5% of every donation, retained by BrightLeaf Giving for use of the donation platform, campaign management tools, and related services.


• Fiscal Sponsor Fee — 2% of every donation, retained by Rekonect for fiscal sponsorship services, including compliance oversight, charitable receipting, and fund administration.


• Payment Processing Fee — 3.5% for donations made by credit card, PayPal, Google Pay, or Apple Pay, to cover payment processor costs.


• ACH Processing Fee — 1% for donations made by ACH or check, to cover payment processor costs.


• DAF Processing Fee — 3% for donations made through Chariot/DAFPay or similar donor-advised fund processors.


• Disbursement Fee — 2% of every disbursement, deducted at the time of disbursement to cover banking services provided by Crowded.


• Off-System Donation Fee — 8% on any donation received without first being entered through the approved Rekonect donation page (including without limitation PayPal, Zelle, QuickPay, Venmo, or direct transfers). This fee covers the additional administrative work required to record, receipt, and reconcile off-system donations.


• Disputed Transaction Fee — $35 per donation that results in a chargeback or payment dispute, deducted from the Social Impact Campaign balance to cover processor and administrative costs.

All fees are subject to the Modification of Policies consent below. Where a donation is processed using multiple payment methods or routed through multiple processors, the applicable processing fees combine accordingly.

All tax receipts for donations to this Social Impact Campaign are issued exclusively by Rekonect. Donors acknowledge that no goods or services are provided by Rekonect, BrightLeaf Giving, or the campaign manager in exchange for their donations, and that donations are deductible only to the extent allowed by law.

The applicant/campaign manager acknowledges and agrees that they are not an agent, trustee, employee, partner, or legal representative of Rekonect. Campaign managers serve solely in an advisory capacity and may not bind Rekonect in any manner.

All disbursals from this Social Impact Campaign must further Rekonect’s charitable purposes and comply with federal, state, and local laws governing tax-exempt organizations. No disbursal may result in private inurement, prohibited private benefit, or self-dealing.

Rekonect and BrightLeaf Giving reserve the right to modify the fees, terms, and policies applicable to Social Impact Campaigns, including the Fee Schedule above. Any modifications will apply prospectively to future transactions after reasonable notice, which may be provided by email to the campaign manager and/or by posting on the BrightLeaf Giving or Rekonect platform.

The applicant/campaign manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Rekonect and BrightLeaf Giving from and against any liability, claim, loss, or expense (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of the campaign manager’s activities, representations, or use of Social Impact Campaign resources.

This agreement and the operation of this Social Impact Campaign are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, and any disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey.
