The website may provide facilities through which individuals, organizations and other supporters can make voluntary donations to African League Organization.
By making a donation, you confirm that:

- The information supplied by you is accurate to the best of your knowledge;
- The funds being donated are lawfully obtained;

5. Donation Confirmation
After a successful online donation, a confirmation, receipt or transaction notification may be generated or sent to the donor, depending on the functionality of the website and payment processor.
A transaction may be considered successful only after confirmation has been received from the relevant payment gateway or financial institution.
A failed, cancelled, reversed or pending transaction should not be treated as a completed donation until the payment status has been confirmed.
6. Donation Allocation
Unless otherwise stated in a specific fundraising appeal, donations may be used to support African League Organization’s charitable objectives and programmes.
These may include:
- Community development;
- Humanitarian and welfare activities;
- Economic empowerment;
- Rehabilitation of vulnerable and disadvantaged persons;
- Educational and skills-development programmes;
- Youth development;
- Conflict resolution;
- Advocacy;
- Environmental and community initiatives;
- Election and civic education activities; and
- Administrative and operational activities reasonably required to deliver charitable programmes.
Where a donor has made a donation for a specific stated campaign or programme, ALO will make reasonable efforts to apply the donation toward that purpose.
However, where circumstances change, the programme is completed, or the funds cannot reasonably be applied exactly as initially anticipated, ALO may redirect the funds toward a substantially similar charitable purpose consistent with its objectives.
7. Donation Refunds
Donations are generally non-refundable.
Refunds may be considered in exceptional circumstances, including verified duplicate payments, technical errors, unauthorized transactions or other circumstances approved by African League Organization.
The complete procedure is contained in our Donation Refund Policy.
