All financial donations to CityHope Church for mission trips are eligible as charitable giving. Funds are not transferable, refundable, or held for another future team.Why: We are not set up to have Team Member credit accounts/savings accounts which is why we do not hold funds.Refundable exception: If someone has a medical emergency pre-trip or another type of approved emergency, we will do everything we can to get as much money back as possible to refund them for payments submitted personally. Funds begin being paid to our partners and vendors very early in the process and many times cannot be refunded. Donations gifted to a trip by a donor outside of the person traveling are not refundable, but are considered a gift towards the trip.  If a refund is possible, we are only able to refund what was given in that current year.Before considering a refund, we strongly encourage that you gift your trip to someone on the waiting list or gifting the funds to the team you had signed up with.Transfer exception: If they are signed up for 2 or more teams and they are currently open in the same year to receive payments.
