Our Commitment to Donors
Every peso donated to Worthy Steps Foundation is a vote of trust. We take that seriously. We are committed to using every contribution responsibly, transparently, and in direct service of our mission: making therapy accessible for Filipino children and families who need it most.
How Donations Are Used
Donations to Worthy Steps Foundation are used for:
- Subsidizing therapy sessions for low-income families
- Funding the construction and fit-out of our permanent therapy center in Antipolo
- Purchasing therapy equipment, materials, and sensory tools
- Training and professional development for our therapy team
- Operating costs that allow us to continue serving families (website, communications, administrative costs kept minimal)
We aim to keep administrative overhead as low as possible so the majority of every donation goes directly toward programs and the children we serve.
General vs. Designated Donations
Unless a donor specifies otherwise, all donations are considered unrestricted general funds and will be allocated where they are needed most. If you wish to designate your donation for a specific purpose (e.g., the building fund, a specific child's therapy scholarship), please contact us at info@worthysteps.com before donating so we can confirm that designation is possible.
No Refunds
All donations are final and non-refundable. If you believe a donation was made in error or without authorization, please contact us promptly at info@worthysteps.com and we will review the situation on a case-by-case basis.
Donor Privacy
We respect your privacy. We do not sell, rent, or share donor information with third parties. Your contact details will only be used to acknowledge your donation and, if you opt in, to send you updates about our work. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Acknowledgment of Donations
We acknowledge all donations and are happy to provide confirmation of your contribution upon request. For larger donations or partnerships, please reach out to discuss how we can recognize your generosity appropriately.
