NearFaith Care — Contributor Terms & Tax Treatment

NearFaith is operated by Golden Consulting Partners, LLC, a for-profit Arizona company. NearFaith does not accept, hold, or custody contributed funds itself. Contributions are processed by a third-party payment processor and routed to an administering entity: (i) a verified participating church, (ii) a qualified charitable organization or fiscal sponsor, or (iii) a future, properly structured NearFaith nonprofit entity. The administering entity for a given contribution is identified at the point of contribution.

Contributions go into the pooled NearFaith Care Fund. Contributors may express a preference— a need category such as Education, Families, Emergency essentials, Transportation, Job needs, Local community, or “wherever needed most” — but may never designate a specific named recipient. The administering entity retains final discretion over every award. This structure is what keeps the fund honest and is a condition of any charitable treatment; it is not negotiable per contribution.

• Golden Consulting Partners is not a 501(c)(3) or other tax-exempt organization.
• A contribution is not tax-deductible unless and until it is actually received by a qualified tax-exempt entity able to issue a valid receipt for it. Where that is the case for a specific giving path, the receiving charity — never NearFaith or Golden Consulting Partners — issues the receipt.
• Unless a giving page explicitly states that a qualified charity is the recipient and names it, assume your contribution is not deductible.
• This section is re-reviewed any time the administering entity changes.

Payment-processor fees are deducted per the processor’s terms. NearFaith charges no platform or administration fee at launch; if one is ever introduced, it will be disclosed before it applies to any contribution. Contributions are final. Refund requests are evaluated case by case by the administering entity and are not guaranteed. Recurring contributions can be cancelled at any time, effective from the next cycle.

Contributors receive aggregate impact reporting only — categories funded, counts, and rounded amounts by city/state. Contributors never receive applicant names, stories, or any personally identifying information, and no level of contribution changes that.

Before any contribution is accepted, the operator must confirm with counsel: charitable-solicitation registration requirements in relevant states; that the routing structure in Section 1 does not make NearFaith a money transmitter; and the final identity of the administering entity or entities. Until then, the giving side of Care remains limited to expressions of interest, and no money is collected.
