Donation Disclaimer

Introduction

Thank you for considering a donation to Empire State Wellness Inc. ("we," "us," or "our"), a nonprofit dedicated to providing dental grants to veterans and first responders in New York. This Donation Disclaimer outlines important information regarding your contribution to ensure transparency and compliance with applicable laws.

Tax-Deductibility Status

Your donation is intended to support our mission of restoring smiles and dignity through dental care. Please note the following:

• Our 501(c)(3) status is currently pending with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). During this period, donations are considered tax-deductible under interim IRS guidelines for organizations applying for tax-exempt status.
• We will provide a tax receipt via email upon donation, but you should consult a tax professional to confirm your eligibility for a deduction based on your individual circumstances.
• Once our 501(c)(3) status is approved, we will update this disclaimer and notify donors accordingly.

Use of Donations

Your generous contribution will be used to fund dental grants for veterans and first responders, focusing on extensive, uncovered treatments such as implants and full-mouth reconstructions. Key points include:

• Funds are allocated to approved grant recipients based on availability and need, which may result in full or partial funding.
• Donations support direct treatment costs, coordinated with healthcare providers, and are released to recipients only after treatment completion is confirmed.
• A portion of donations may be used for operational expenses to sustain our nonprofit’s activities, ensuring we can continue serving our community.

Funding Allocation

Every donation you make is vital to our mission and is directed toward providing the highest impact for those in need. We carefully prioritize funds based on eligibility, treatment urgency, and available resources to maximize the number of veterans and first responders we can help, ensuring your support transforms lives across New York.

Irrevocability of Donations

Donations processed through our third-party provider (Donorbox integrated with Stripe) are irrevocable. Refunds will only be issued in exceptional circumstances (e.g., processing errors) at our sole discretion or as required by law.

Compliance and Registration

Empire State Wellness Inc. is registered as a nonprofit in New York, with ongoing registration with the New York Attorney General’s Charities Bureau. We comply with all applicable federal and state regulations, including those governing charitable solicitations.
