Ponce Project Music Foundation
Ponce Project Music Foundation (“PPMF,” “The Ponce Project,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) welcomes voluntary contributions that support its mission to research, preserve, perform, promote, and advance Latin American classical music.
Donations help support musical research, the preservation and dissemination of scores, educational initiatives, concerts, competitions, recordings, and other activities consistent with the Foundation’s mission.
This Donation Policy explains the general principles applicable to voluntary contributions made to support the Foundation. It should be read together with the website’s Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, and Refund and Cancellation Policy.
The Foundation’s website provides a Contributions page with suggested donation amounts in U.S. dollars, including $50, $75, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, $2,000, $3,000, $4,000, and $5,000.
The availability of a particular contribution amount, payment method, or donation option may depend on the payment interface displayed when the contribution is initiated.
Donors should follow the instructions presented on the official website and the applicable payment page. If the available methods are unclear, donors may contact the Foundation before submitting a contribution.
Official website: https://theponceproject.org/contributions/
A donation may be processed through an external payment service if the donor is redirected to a third-party payment page.
Where an external service is used, the transaction may be subject to that provider’s terms, privacy practices, security procedures, and payment-processing requirements.
The Foundation does not represent that a particular payment provider is available for every donation unless that provider is identified in the applicable donation interface.
Donors should verify the recipient, amount, currency, and payment details before authorizing a transaction. Payment card details should be entered only through a payment interface that the donor has verified as legitimate.
A contribution is considered submitted when the donor completes the applicable payment process. The completion of a payment request does not necessarily mean that the transaction has been successfully authorized or settled.
Donors should retain any confirmation page, transaction reference, bank statement, or electronic receipt provided by the payment service.
If a contribution appears to have failed, donors should check the payment status before attempting another transaction to reduce the risk of duplicate charges.
For questions concerning a contribution, donors may contact contacto@theponceproject.org and provide the transaction date, amount, and available reference number. Donors should not send full payment card numbers, security codes, passwords, or other sensitive authentication information by email.
The Foundation may provide a donation acknowledgment or receipt in accordance with its administrative procedures and applicable law.
The issuance, format, timing, and contents of any receipt depend on the information available to the Foundation and the procedures adopted for donation processing.
A payment confirmation generated by an external payment provider is not necessarily equivalent to a separate charitable contribution acknowledgment issued by the Foundation.
Donors who require an acknowledgment for their records may contact the Foundation and provide the information reasonably necessary to identify the contribution.
Ponce Project Music Foundation publicly identifies itself as a nonprofit organization and states that it is recognized under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, with EIN 84-2988718.
However, the tax treatment of an individual contribution depends on the donor’s circumstances, the nature of the transaction, and applicable federal, state, and foreign tax rules.
The Foundation does not guarantee that every payment made through its website is tax-deductible. In particular, payments made in exchange for competition participation, concert admission, merchandise, or another benefit must not automatically be treated as charitable donations.
Donors should consult a qualified tax professional regarding their eligibility to claim a deduction and the documentation required for their tax return.
A voluntary donation is a contribution made to support the Foundation without being a payment required to obtain a specific service or participate in a particular activity.
Donations must be distinguished from:
Competition application or registration fees.
Concert tickets and admission charges.
Purchases of merchandise or other products, if offered.
Payments for any other specific service or benefit.
The Foundation’s published competition rules establish separate application fees for its competition divisions. These fees are not voluntary donations merely because the Foundation is a nonprofit organization.
The conditions governing competition fees are addressed through the relevant competition announcement, registration instructions, and applicable Refund and Cancellation Policy.
Concert tickets are subject to the information and conditions supplied for the particular event and its ticketing provider.
Donors who believe that a donation was made in error, charged more than once, or processed for an incorrect amount may contact the Foundation for review.
Each request will be assessed in light of the circumstances, the transaction records, applicable law, and any relevant payment-provider requirements.
This Policy does not promise an automatic refund, establish a guaranteed refund period, or declare every donation categorically nonrefundable. The Foundation must determine and publish its formal rules governing ordinary refund requests, mistaken contributions, and exceptional circumstances.
Where a transaction was processed by a third party, the donor may also need to follow the provider’s applicable procedures.
The Foundation’s public Contributions page displays suggested contribution amounts. The existence of recurring donations, automatic renewal, subscription arrangements, or recurring payment authorization has not been established by the public information reviewed for this Policy.
Unless a recurring donation option is expressly displayed and its terms are disclosed, donors should not assume that a contribution will be repeated automatically.
If recurring contributions are introduced, the Foundation should clearly disclose the frequency, amount, authorization process, cancellation method, and any applicable conditions before the donor confirms enrollment.
The Foundation handles personal information associated with donations in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Information may be used as reasonably necessary to process contributions, maintain financial and administrative records, issue acknowledgments, respond to donor inquiries, prevent or investigate suspected fraud, and meet legal obligations.
When a third-party payment provider processes a transaction, that provider may collect and process personal information under its own privacy terms.
Donors should review the applicable Privacy Policy and any relevant third-party privacy notice before submitting personal information.
The Foundation should not publish a donor’s name or identifiable contribution details as a public acknowledgment without an appropriate basis and any consent required by applicable law. Donors who wish to discuss anonymity or recognition preferences should contact the Foundation before donating.
Contributions support the Foundation’s mission and activities. Unless the Foundation expressly accepts a restriction in writing, a donation should not be understood as creating a contractual right to a particular event, performance, prize, publication, or other specific benefit.
Donors who wish to designate a contribution for a particular initiative should contact the Foundation to confirm whether the proposed restriction can be accepted and how the contribution will be administered.
Donors who identify a duplicate charge, an incorrect amount, or a transaction they did not authorize should contact the Foundation promptly.
The Foundation may request reasonable information necessary to locate and investigate the transaction. Any correction, reversal, or refund will depend on the facts, applicable law, and the relevant payment provider’s procedures.
Donors should also contact their bank or payment provider when appropriate, particularly if they suspect unauthorized use of a payment instrument.
The Foundation may revise this Policy as its donation procedures, payment arrangements, or legal obligations change.
The version published on the official website will be the applicable public version from its stated effective date, subject to applicable law.
