Privacy Policy | Donor Policy

Effective Date: October 7, 2026

Thank you for supporting the Chicago Muslim Medical Alliance. Your generosity helps fund education, mentorship, community outreach, and relief work for Chicago and communities in crisis around the world. This Donor Policy explains how we handle your gifts and protect your trust.

1. Our Nonprofit Status

CMMA is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization. Our EIN is [XX-XXXXXXX]. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

2. Tax Receipts and Acknowledgment

  • You will receive an email receipt after your donation.
  • For gifts of $250 or more, we will provide a written acknowledgment that meets IRS requirements.
  • Event tickets and dinners: if you receive goods or services (such as a meal) in exchange for your payment, only the amount above the fair market value is tax-deductible. This will be stated on your receipt.
  • Please keep your receipt for your tax records. We recommend consulting a tax advisor about your specific situation.
  • Year-end giving statements are available on request.

3. How Your Donation Is Used

We are committed to using funds responsibly and for the purposes described on our Website.

Designated gifts. When you choose a specific cause on our donation form (for example Sadaqah, Earthquake, Floods, Children Education, Orphan, Doctors to Save Life, Refugees, Food Supply, Medication Supply, or Build a Masjid), we will use your gift for that cause.

Flexibility of use. If a campaign is fully funded, or if it becomes impossible or impractical to use funds as designated, CMMA may redirect the gift to a similar charitable purpose that best matches the donor’s original intent. If you select “Other” or make no designation, your gift will support CMMA’s general programs and operations where the need is greatest.

Administrative costs. A reasonable portion of donations may be used to cover fundraising, administrative, and operational expenses needed to run our programs and deliver aid effectively.

4. Recurring Donations

If you choose a recurring donation:

  • Your payment method will be charged automatically on the schedule you select.
  • You may change or cancel your recurring gift at any time by emailing us at cmma1871@gmail.com. Please allow a few business days for changes to take effect.
  • You will receive a receipt for each payment.

5. Refund Policy

Donations are generally non-refundable. If you made a donation in error (such as a wrong amount or a duplicate charge), contact us within 30 days of the transaction at cmma1871@gmail.com and we will review your request. Refunds for event tickets are subject to the terms stated at the time of purchase.

6. Donor Privacy

  • We do not sell, rent, or trade donor information.
  • We do not share donor names or gift amounts publicly without your permission.
  • You may request to donate anonymously.
  • You may ask to be removed from our mailing list at any time.
  • For more details, please read our Privacy Policy.

7. Donor Recognition

With your permission, we may thank donors at events or in our communications. If you prefer not to be recognized, let us know and we will respect your wishes.

8. Secure Payments

All online donations are processed through secure, trusted third-party payment providers. CMMA does not store your full card or bank details.

9. Gifts and Donor Intent

We accept cash, credit/debit card, and other approved payment methods. Gifts of stock, property, or other non-cash assets, and large gifts with special conditions, must be discussed with us in advance. CMMA reserves the right to decline any gift that conflicts with our mission, values, or legal obligations, or that would place an unreasonable burden on the organization.

10. Stewardship and Accountability

CMMA is committed to:

  • Honoring the intent of every donor
  • Keeping accurate financial records
  • Using funds ethically and transparently
  • Complying with all applicable laws and regulations governing nonprofit organizations
