Cancellation Policy:Please read the Habitat for Humanity Global Village Payment Policies and Procedures document. Among other things, you will learn that if you cancel more than 45 days prior to departure, HFHI will credit your payments toward another GV trip within one year. Cancellations within 45 days of departure will result in all of your funds going to HFHI to meet current obligations.
If HFHI must cancel, they will attempt to place you on another trip or you may receive a full refund. HFHI cannot compensate you for any other expenses such as unusable airfare.Neither HFHI nor Global Village can be responsible for accidents, missed or rescheduled airlines, missed or rescheduled ground transportation, and/or any situations that prevent a participant from joining his/her team. Each participant is responsible for additional expenses incurred. If you are en route to your destination and find yourself in a bind, please call HFHI who will do everything they can to accommodate you.
*Tax Deductibility: Habitat for Humanity International will send a tax acknowledgement letter to everyone who makes a payment or donation via check, money order or credit card with additional details about tax deductibility. Generally, a participant can deduct a portion of her/his payments if she/he itemizes their year-end tax return, to the extent that "there was no significant element of pleasure in the trip". Other supporters may often claim a full deduction because their support is considered to be given to Habitat on an unfettered basis (as opposed to supporting only an individual.) Please consult with a tax specialist concerning your specific situation.
