18.fund, operating on behalf of the Shabata Demalkata Foundation, recognizes the importance of donor trust and is committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical fundraising. We believe every donor is entitled to the following rights:
You have the right to know how your donations are being used. We are committed to providing clear, honest, and timely information about how funds are allocated across our programs, including Shabbat meals, holiday programs, family assistance, daily prayers, and security and emergency aid.
Your personal and financial information will be handled with the utmost care and confidentiality. We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties for commercial purposes. Your information is only used to process donations, provide receipts, and communicate updates about our work.
We are dedicated to using donations responsibly and in accordance with our stated mission. The Shabata Demalkata Foundation operates as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 99-4247639), and we adhere to all applicable laws and regulations governing charitable organizations.
Every donor will receive prompt acknowledgment and a receipt for their contribution. Donation receipts include all necessary information for tax purposes. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
You have the right to ask questions about our organization, our mission, and our finances. We welcome your inquiries and are committed to providing honest, straightforward answers.
You have the right to be informed about the identity of those serving on our board, and to expect that they exercise prudent judgment in their stewardship responsibilities. You also have the right to access our most recent financial statements.
You have the right to make donations freely, without pressure or undue influence. We respect your autonomy and will never use high-pressure tactics or misleading information to solicit contributions.
