Are Donations tax-deductible? 
Your donations are considered personal gifts to the mother-to-be. The amounts that go to nonprofits are donated on your behalf. Due to the system, we cannot separate the amount going to a nonprofit from you as a tax deduction, as we combine the amounts from all donors and send payments to Nonprofit Charities every month.

Payment Gateway
Because of the dynamic fees from various gateways and other fees, it’s included with the 10% added to your donation.

How much are the fees? 

BabyNamy does not take any amount that goes to Nonprofits or Moms. Our fee is included in the 10% added during the donation process.

How much of my donation goes to Mom-to-be?
That depends on the mother. She may have selected 0% for a non-profit organization, 10% or 25%, etc.  This information will be shown on the campaign.  But yes, when you donate $100, that full $100 goes to the mom only, with a possible portion going to a non-profit that she has selected to do.

Refunds
BabyNamy doesn’t offer refunds unless the campaign is fraudulent or canceled. We’ll contact the sponsors and automatically refund the donation through the payment gateway used. 5% will not be refunded to the sponsor to cover gateway fees. For example, if you donated $100, you were charged $110, so the refund will be $105.
