Donation Terms & Conditions
1. ABOUT GEAN
Girls’ Empowerment and Advocacy Nextwork (GEAN) is a not-for-profit, non-political organisation registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) of Nigeria in 2025. All donations received by GEAN are used solely for the advancement of our charitable objectives as set out in our Constitution.
2. ACCEPTED DONATIONS
GEAN gratefully accepts donations in the following currencies and forms:
- Nigerian Naira (₦)
- US Dollar ($)
- British Pounds (£)
- Euro (€)
- Any other internationally recognised currency (subject to processing availability)
Donations may be made via bank transfer or other approved payment platforms as listed on our website or communicated by GEAN representatives.
3. USE OF DONATIONS
All donations are applied directly toward GEAN’s charitable programs, including but not limited to:
- Menstrual health outreach and pad distribution (Pad-A-Girl)
- Education scholarships (school fees for primary, secondary, and tertiary students)
- Student financial support programs
- Humanitarian response and IDP camp welfare
- Girls’ empowerment and leadership programs
- Operational costs necessary to deliver the above programs
No portion of donations shall be paid or transferred as profit, dividend, or personal benefit to any member of GEAN’s board or staff, in accordance with our CAC-registered Constitution.
4. RESTRICTED DONATIONS
Donors wishing to designate their gift to a specific program (e.g. “scholarship fund” or “Pad-A-Girl outreach”) may communicate this at the time of donation. GEAN will make reasonable efforts to honour such designations. Where a restricted purpose becomes impractical or impossible, GEAN will contact the donor to agree an alternative use.
5. REFUND POLICY
Donations to GEAN are generally non-refundable, as funds are often committed to program activities promptly. However, GEAN will consider refund requests in the following circumstances:
- Duplicate or erroneous transactions
- Fraudulent or unauthorised use of a donor’s payment details
Refund requests must be submitted within 14 days of the transaction to geanextwork@gmail.com with proof of payment. Approved refunds will be processed within 10 business days.
6. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT & RECEIPTS
GEAN will acknowledge all donations via email. Donors requiring formal receipts for tax or compliance purposes should request this at the time of donation. GEAN will provide documentation to the best of our ability as a registered non-profit.
7. ANONYMOUS DONATIONS
Donors may choose to give anonymously. Anonymous donations are accepted and applied in the same manner as named donations. GEAN will not publicly attribute anonymous gifts without the donor’s explicit consent.
8. RECURRING DONATIONS
Where a donor sets up a recurring donation via a payment platform, they may cancel at any time through that platform. GEAN is not responsible for charges incurred after a donor has cancelled directly through a payment provider without notifying GEAN.
9. DONOR PRIVACY
Donor information is handled in accordance with GEAN’s Privacy Policy. We do not sell or share donor data with third parties for marketing purposes. Donors may opt out of GEAN communications at any time by contacting us at geanextwork@gmail.com.
9. AMENDMENTS
GEAN reserves the right to update these Terms and Conditions at any time. Any changes will be communicated via our website and/or email. Continued donation after notification of changes constitutes acceptance.
