Terms of Use
Clear terms for using this site and giving with confidence.
Effective date: Aug 7, 2026. Welcome. By using this website you agree to these terms. They exist to protect the mission your generosity makes possible. Morning Star Center for Social Progress is a US public charity, EIN 68-0595757.
Use of this site
You may browse, share, and print pages for personal, non-commercial purposes. Please don’t misuse the site — no scraping donor information, attempting to breach security, or using content in a way that misrepresents Morning Star Center or the people we serve.
Donations, receipts, and refunds
- Gifts are charged when you complete checkout. Recurring gifts (monthly or quarterly) repeat automatically until you cancel — which you can do anytime through the link in your receipt emails or by writing to us.
- Gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law; a receipt is emailed for every gift.
- Mistakes happen: if a gift was duplicated, entered with the wrong amount, or made in error, contact us within 30 days at info@msc-africa.org and we will make it right, including refunding where appropriate.
- Designated gifts are applied to the program you choose. If a program becomes fully funded or circumstances change materially, we may apply funds to the closest related need — stewardship, never diversion.
