LibrariesFeed Terms and Conditions
1. Fees – There is no set-up fee or monthly fee to post your project on LibrariesFeed.org. LibrariesFeed retains a flat 15% fee from each donation received online or by check to support libraries in their fundraising efforts. The donor has the option of making a separate 15% donation to LibrariesFeed so that 100% of the donation amount will be granted to your charity.
2. Disbursement – Approximately monthly, LibrariesFeed will forward funds to your Library. LibrariesFeed will provide the amount to be allocated to each project you have posted at LibrariesFeed.org. In all cases, LibrariesFeed reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or cancel transfers to your library if it is not satisfied with the progress of your library’s hunger relief project or the contents of any update or report.
3. Use of Funds and Duration of Project on LibrariesFeed.org – You commit that funds disbursed for projects will be used only for activities described on the corresponding project page at LibrariesFeed.org and only for the exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. No LibrariesFeed funds, nor income therefrom, shall be used for efforts to influence legislation or to intervene for or against political candidates. Projects that continue to receive donations, but have not reached 100% of total funds requested, will remain on LibrariesFeed.org until completely funded, and you may request that a project be deactivated at any time. Projects receiving no donations after one year or failing to report for two consecutive quarters will be marked as ‘retired’ and removed from the site.

LibrariesFeed will display updates on your project page and will e-mail them to donors. [Upon LibrariesFeed’s request], you will provide annual narrative and financial reports regarding the progress made on the funded project(s) and detailing how all funds provided by LibrariesFeed and any income earned therefrom were spent. You also agree to maintain adequate books and records regarding your use of the funds provided by LibrariesFeed, to allow LibrariesFeed access to such books and records at reasonable times, and to cooperate with periodic visits to your projects by LibrariesFeed staff and other visitors, as agreed upon by you and the Foundation.
