BY ACCESSING, BROWSING, AND/OR USING THIS WEBSITE YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THESE TERMS OF USE AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY AND THAT YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

How Do Funeral Contributions Work?

Your contribution will be processed through Our Tribute Fund for distribution to the funeral home or funeral service provider. Your credit card transaction record will appear as Our Tribute Fund. A receipt for your contribution will be issued and emailed by OurTributeFund.com. Please note that the financial institutions charge 3% for credit card processing, and Our Tribute Fund collects a 5% administrative/platform fee. These fees help cover the cost of processing all contributions, software/website maintenance, and the sharing and sending of all appropriate information to the selected service provider and the family themselves. These fees are assumed and deducted from each contribution, but you will receive a receipt for the full amount of your contribution. There are NO additional costs the service provider has to endure to participate and accept contributions through OurTributeFund.com. Our Tribute Fund helps ensure that contributed funds go to the services they were intended to provide financial assistance for.

Remittances

My Tribute Gift Foundation seeks to distribute all funds to organizations provided they have maintained active 501c3 certification in the United States or registered charity status in Canada. MTG relies on the beneficiary organizations to maintain and keep up to date contact information on file with the IRS or CRA respectively. This must be done in order for My Tribute Gift Foundation to exercise care and reasonable efforts to distribute payment promptly, without undue cost and burden to the foundation. In the event that a payment has not been deposited 12 months from issuance, the foundation reserves the right to utilize those funds in its mission to the foundation.
