DONATION RULES

The process is divided into several stages:

  1. Application Submission Any individual can submit an application for fundraising for a car, provided they have signed documents from the military unit commander. Required documents and information include:
  • Completing the form on the website;
  • A scanned copy (or clear photo) of the properly filled application, signed by the military unit commander and stamped, along with contact details;
  • A photo associated with the application (e.g., a picture of the damaged car needing a replacement, photos of soldiers who require the vehicle with their faces hidden);
  • The name of the car being fundraised for;
  • A description of the purpose of the car and its usage, along with a few sentences about the military unit. This text is entered on the website form.
  1. Application Verification The “PICK UP WAR” Charitable Foundation verifies the application for proper completion, readability of information, accuracy, and relevance of the military unit’s details and requirements. In case of any misunderstandings, we will contact the applicant for clarification.
  2. Fundraising Campaign Publication on the Platform After verifying the application, we publish the fundraising campaign on the platform within 10-30 days after verification, following the live queue order. The platform can host a maximum of 12 pages (12 applications) at a time. As one campaign completes, we publish the next one.

For fundraising, a separate page is created, which can be shared. A dedicated payment system allows real-time tracking of donations (charitable contributions), showing the amount of donations received. We also promote the campaign on media resources related to the project.

  1. Fundraising Period The fundraising period for one application is 30 calendar days. If needed, the campaign can be extended for an additional 60 calendar days.

Conditions:

  • If an application receives less than 10% of the required amount within the first 30 days, it will be removed from the platform, and the funds will go to the project’s general fund.
  • If an application collects less than 30% of the required amount within 60 days, it will be removed from the platform, and the funds will go to the project’s general fund.
  • If an application gathers less than 80% of the required amount within 90 days, it will be removed from the platform, and the funds will go to the project’s general fund.
  • If an application reaches 80% of the required amount within 90 days, the campaign is considered successful, and the “PICK UP WAR” Charitable Foundation purchases the car for the military unit.

Remaining funds from applications that don’t gather enough donations for a car are transferred to the general fund and used to purchase vehicles for other applications or PICK UP WAR programs. The allocation of funds among active applications is reported in the “News” section when removing a campaign that didn’t reach the required funding goal. All donations are used to support vehicles for the Armed Forces.

  1. Campaign Promotion The PICK UP WAR project platform team utilizes various promotional tools to help each specific campaign gather funds for a vehicle.
  2. Car Delivery Timeline The ready vehicle is handed over to the military unit representative within a maximum of 4 weeks after the completion of the fundraising campaign, provided that the unit’s documents have been submitted on time.
  3. Required Documents for Receiving the Car A contract between the military unit and the “PICK UP WAR” Charitable Foundation, a letter from the unit to the foundation, and a handover protocol. Document samples are provided by the “PICK UP WAR” Charitable Foundation after the completion of the fundraising. Signed originals with stamps from both parties are necessary to receive the vehicle. Document examples can be viewed here.

By making a donation (money transfer), the donor agrees to the Donation Rules within the charitable program of the “PICK UP WAR” Charitable Foundation and gives their irrevocable consent for the use of the donation not only for purchasing a specific car but also for cases stipulated in the Donation Rules, including allocation to the general fund of the “PICK UP WAR” charitable program.

The “PICK UP WAR” Charitable Foundation does not have its own funds and purchases vehicles solely through donations (charitable contributions). The vehicles are acquired from auctions in Canada and are in a used condition, manufactured between 2005 and 2015.

The “PICK UP WAR” charitable program is one of the charitable programs organized and implemented by the “PICK UP WAR” Charitable Foundation.
