Safety Policy

World Help is extremely cautious when taking groups on international trips. We do our best to insure a safe environment for our trip participants, including our choice of lodging, food, and transportation for each group. We make sure that we are up-to-date on current events within each country, and would never proceed with a trip if we had reason to fear for the participants’ safety. Our in-country partners are also trust-worthy, reliable, and knowledgeable with handling American group trips.

Trip Payments

All payments made to World Help are tax-deductible and non-refundable. As a non-profit organization we are legally unable to provide refunds for tax-deductible donations. If you should choose to back out from the trip for any reason, you will be able to use your money paid for the project of your choice.

International Medical Insurance

Each trip participant will have international medical insurance purchased in their name through Gallagher International Insurance Services for the duration of the trip. This is covered in the trip cost. It covers medical expenses or procedures that might be incurred while overseas. There is a $100 deductible.

Our Financial Commitment

Your gift will be used exclusively for the exempt purposes of World Help, a 501(c)(3) organization, and will be considered tax-deductible to the full extent allowed under the federal tax laws. You should consult with your personal income tax advisor for more guidance about your individual tax situation. Gifts are considered to be without restriction unless explicitly stipulated by the donor. All restricted gifts for a specific project receive an administrative assessment, which is used to offset administrative and fundraising costs.

If contributed funds exceed the specific need of a project, or due to unforeseen circumstances the project cannot be completed, those funds will be used where they will make the greatest impact to fulfill the mission and purpose of World Help. You can access World Help’s full financial reports at worldhelp.net/financials.
