1. Donation Policy Overview

Effective Date: February 2026

Bring Smile Foundation is grateful for all charitable contributions that support our educational, health, and women empowerment initiatives. As donations are immediately allocated to field programs, we have clear guidelines for accidental or erroneous transactions.

2. Refund Request Window

48-Hour Notice Window

If you have made an erroneous donation or a duplicate transaction occurred, please submit a written refund request within 24 to 48 hours of the transaction.

Post-48 Hours Allocation

After 48 hours, contributed funds are mobilized into on-ground procurement (textbooks, meal rations, educator stipends). Therefore, refund requests received after this window cannot be fulfilled.
