3. Donations
Donations made through this website support the charitable and ministry activities of Anchorage Gospel Rescue Mission.
Donation transactions may be processed through a third-party payment provider. When submitting a donation, you may also be subject to the provider’s terms, privacy practices, and payment-processing policies.
You agree to provide accurate and complete payment information and confirm that you are authorized to use the selected payment method.
Unless otherwise stated, donations are considered voluntary and may be used where the Mission determines they are most needed. AGRM will make reasonable efforts to honor properly designated gifts, but a designation does not create a legal trust or obligation unless expressly accepted in writing by the Mission.

If you select a recurring donation, you authorize the designated payment provider to charge your selected payment method at the frequency and amount shown during the donation process.
Recurring donations will continue until canceled. Cancellation instructions may be available through the donation platform or by contacting AGRM. Cancellation requests should be submitted sufficiently before the next scheduled transaction to allow time for processing.
5. Donation Refunds and Tax Information
If you believe a donation was made in error, please contact AGRM promptly. Refund requests will be reviewed individually and remain subject to applicable law, payment-processor requirements, and the circumstances of the transaction.
AGRM may provide donation acknowledgments or receipts when appropriate. Nothing on this website constitutes tax, accounting, or legal advice. Donors should consult their professional advisors regarding the deductibility or treatment of any contribution.
6. Programs and Services
Descriptions of shelter, meals, clothing assistance, recovery programs, classes, housing opportunities, and other services are provided for general information.
Program requirements, schedules, capacity, hours, eligibility standards, screening procedures, and available services may change. Submission of a form or application does not guarantee acceptance, placement, housing, assistance, or participation.
If you or another person is experiencing an emergency, do not rely on this website for emergency assistance. Contact the appropriate emergency service or local authority.
7. Christian Ministry Content
AGRM is a Christian ministry. The website may contain Christian teachings, Scripture, testimony, prayer, discipleship materials, and descriptions of Christ-centered programs.
