Thank you for visiting bridginggenerations.org. By using this site you agree to the terms below. We have kept the language plain; if anything is unclear, write to us and we will explain it in more detail.
Who we are
Bridging Generations is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization registered in the United States. Our programs operate in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh, in partnership with local schools and community leaders. Our EIN and mailing address are listed on the About page.
How donations are handled
- Online card giving is handled by Stripe, a third-party payment platform. Your card information is entered on Stripe's secure hosted checkout and never touches our servers. Prefer to give by check or wire? Write to us and we'll send instructions.
- A tax-deductible receipt is emailed automatically at the time of your gift. U.S. tax-deduction rules apply only to U.S. taxpayers.
- Every project-designated gift is applied to the program you selected. Unrestricted gifts support the general operating fund, which covers tuition, meals, materials, and the small set of overhead costs required to run the organization.
- Refunds and cancellations: if you made a mistake or wish to cancel a recurring gift, email us and we will correct or cancel it. Refund requests made within a reasonable time of the gift are honored in full.
Privacy
- The contact form uses Resend to deliver your message to the board inbox. We use your email only to reply to you. We do not add you to any marketing list, we do not share it with third parties, and we do not run automated outreach on incoming messages.
- Payment records are held by Stripe under their privacy policy. We view donor information only to acknowledge gifts and prepare annual reports.
- This site uses lightweight, cookie-free analytics to measure page views. No personal information is collected.
Photography and student likenesses
- Student portraits appear on this site only where a signed release is on file.
- If you are a student, parent, or guardian and you wish to revoke a photo release, contact us. The photo will be removed within a few business days on the next deploy.
Intellectual property
- Text and photographs on this site are the property of Bridging Generations, its authors, or the photographers they commissioned. Please ask before reusing them.
- Quoted testimonials and stories appear with the source's permission.
