CANCELLATION POLICY:  
Alex’s House is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization.  Under Section 501(c)(3)  tax-exempt status, all donations are non-refundable including “payments” for internships and mission trips. Your trip donation and/or any gifts made toward your trip are non-refundable contributions that are pooled into our general ministry and operating funds.
If there is a cancellation before the payment is rendered on or before deadlines set forth below (AND there is a team of 8 or more still participating in the trip), then the traveler that is unable to participate in the trip is excused from further payments. Travelers who cancel their trip for reasons such as a medical or family emergency have the option to apply their trip balance toward a future Alex’s House mission trip, or to transfer or designate those funds toward another person’s trip within 12 months of the original team’s departure date (“carry-over” provision).
There must be a minimum payment of 8 travelers for any team/group traveling to Alex’s House. The “carry-over” provision above only applies when there are 8 or more travelers still participating in trip.
