Straight answers. If yours is missing, ask us from any campaign page.

No. A donation gives no ownership or interest, is not an investment, and does not guarantee acquisition.
A pledge is a commitment recorded now and collected later; a gift is money received and confirmed by our payment processor. They are always shown separately.
Gifts are handled under the campaign's published terms — returned, redirected with your consent, or moved to the General Rescue Fund — and the outcome is recorded in the ledger. See If acquisition fails.
