Donations may be used according to the organisation's programme priorities, operational requirements and applicable donor restrictions.

Voluntary Donations

All donations made to Blessings NGO are voluntary. Donors should make contributions only after considering their own financial circumstances and requirements.

A donation does not create any ownership, employment, membership or other entitlement in relation to Blessings NGO unless separately agreed in writing.

Use of Restricted Donations

Where a donor specifically identifies a programme or purpose for a donation, Blessings NGO will make reasonable efforts to use the contribution for that purpose, subject to programme requirements and applicable restrictions.

If a specified programme is discontinued, completed or otherwise unable to use the contribution as intended, the organisation may apply the funds to a closely related charitable or programme purpose, subject to applicable requirements.
