I made a commitment to an organization to donate $500 last year, in honor of my dad for 2020.
I wanted the reward to be offered in his name. I’ve been speaking with the committee member and expressed my wishes, multiple times. Well I spoke with a member and reminded her this was what I wanted, last week. Today I get a call that it can’t be done, will I be wrong to ask for my money back?
Please no judgement on why the $500 wasn’t paid towards debt. I love my dad, and really wanted to do something in honor of him.
Am I Wrong to Ask For My Money Back?

Gifts in my opinion are offerings of love and generosity. Our universe knows when those gifts are offered whether announced or not.
Good luck figuring this out.

However, an agreement was made, I held up my end of the bargain. The organization in my opinion was deceitful in its actions and for that reason after thinking it over, I asked for my money back.
Thanks

I've been involved in similar situations when I served on our temple board. If we had donated funds that were earmarked for a certain purpose and for some reason we no longer needed the money for that purpose, we did everything we could to contact the donor and get their permission to use the money for something else. We never had to return money but we never just willy nilly decided to go against the donor's wishes.

I honestly feel like they knew it had to be $1,000 all along, I’m okay it, it’s their policy, but tell me. I feel as though they were deliberate in their actions and I plan on writing their board president

They should return the money if that's your desire.
