These activities include, but are not limited to, those that incite or engage in violence, dehumanization, intimidation, harassment, threats, or defamation.  It also includes activities or misinformation targeting an individual or group on the basis of race, color, religion/creed, gender/gender identity, national origin, ancestry, age, medical condition, disability, veteran status, familial status, genetic information, pregnancy, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law.

MoM will review all donation requests and implement this policy through due diligence to ensure that the activities outlined above (including any others that MoM deems are contrary to its mission and values) are identified, and steps are taken to avoid any MoM support for them. MoM will rely on data crosschecked from a variety of external sources to make its determination.

If MoM determines that a proposed donation recipient does not qualify within the values-aligned policy, MoM will work with the volunteer to find a better solution to meet their donation goals.  Decisions regarding donations are at the sole discretion of MoM in furtherance of its charitable mission.
