Draft for the Foundation’s reviewThis page is a draft prepared with our web team and has not yet been reviewed by the Foundation’s board or legal adviser. It is not legal advice.

01Who receives your gift

Donations go to Joe Katuka Basketball Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization registered in the United States, EIN 99-4757283.

02How donations are processed

Online donations are made through PayPal, to the Foundation’s PayPal account. PayPal handles your card or bank details under its own security and privacy terms; we receive your name, email, the amount and the date, not your full card number.

PayPal may keep a small processing fee from each gift.

03Tax-deductibility and receipts

Your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by US law. PayPal emails you a confirmation right away. If you need a formal receipt for your tax records, email us and we will send one. No goods or services are given in return for a donation unless we tell you so in writing.

04Monthly gifts

If you set up a monthly gift (for example, sponsoring a student), it repeats until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in your PayPal account under automatic payments, or by emailing us, and we will help you cancel it.

05Refunds

If you made a mistake or changed your mind, email info@joekatukafoundation.org within 30 days of your gift and we will refund it. Please include your name, the date and the amount. Refunds go back to the original payment method through PayPal. After 30 days, gifts may already be at work in our programs, but you can still contact us.

06How we use donations

Gifts support our programs for young people in Nigeria: basketball camps, education and school supplies, meals, mentorship and, in 2027, rebuilding the school where Joe grew up. If you give to a named fund (such as the 2027 school fund), we use your gift for that purpose. If a fund raises more than it needs, or a project cannot go ahead, we use the gift for the closest similar program.

07Donor privacy

We never sell, trade or rent donor information. See our privacy policy.
