Common questions

Before you give.

Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Smile Supply Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) charity. Your donation is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by US law. You'll receive an emailed receipt within 24 hours.
How is my money actually used?
Every donation goes through our published cost structure: $0.28 to the kit, $0.04 to curriculum, $0.06 to logistics, $0.04 to auditing. That's $0.42 per child reached. Operations are covered separately by a small reserve, not skimmed from program funds.
Can I donate monthly?
Yes. Recurring monthly donations help us plan partner orders and lock in bulk pricing. Toggle "Monthly" above. Cancel anytime from your account.
What payment methods do you accept?
Credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, Discover), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfer (ACH) for larger gifts. For donor-advised funds, wire transfers, or stock gifts, email vivek@smilesupply.org.
Will I see what my donation does?
Yes. Every donor receives our quarterly impact report with photos from partner events, audited numbers, and a breakdown of what your specific tier funded. Founding Donors ($1,000+) get a direct briefing from Vivek.
Does my employer match donations?
Many do. Smile Supply qualifies for most corporate matching programs. Check with your HR team and submit through your employer's matching portal — we'll handle the verification.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 30 days of donation. Email vivek@smilesupply.org with your receipt and we'll process it.
I want to give a large gift. Who do I talk to?
For gifts over $5,000, foundation grants, stock transfers, or corporate partnerships, contact Vivek directly at vivek@smilesupply.org. He'll set up a call within 48 hours.
