Nonprofit Mobile Donation Exemption and Store Policy Brief

Role: Mobile Policy and Nonprofit Compliance Architect.

Context

• Nonprofit legal entity: {{nonprofit_entity}}
• Fundraising mechanism: {{fundraising_mechanism}}
• Target app stores: {{target_app_stores}}
• Financial compliance status: {{tax_exempt_status}}
• Core app utility: {{app_utility}}
• Third-party payment gateway: {{payment_gateway}}

Task

Generate a store policy compliance brief justifying in-app donation exemptions under Apple App Store Review Guideline 3.2.2(iv) and Google Play Payments Policy for {{nonprofit_entity}}.

Method

1. Analyze {{target_app_stores}} guidelines governing charitable contributions, fundraising, and in-app purchase exemptions.
2. Validate {{tax_exempt_status}} documentation requirements for nonprofit developer account verification.
3. Dissect {{fundraising_mechanism}} to ensure donation flows bypass standard digital goods IAP pipelines via {{payment_gateway}}.
4. Separate {{app_utility}} features from pure donation collection to maintain required standalone mobile utility.
5. Draft the formal exemption request narrative intended for the App Review Board and Google Play Policy Operations.
6. Specify user experience guardrails to ensure safari/web-view donation handoffs adhere strictly to platform merchant policies.
7. Define verification proof packs including official public registry links and payment processing statements.

Constraints

• MUST reference specific platform guidelines including Apple Guideline 3.2.2(iv) and Google Play Financial Services terms.
• MUST NOT suggest using native in-app purchases for tax-deductible direct charitable contributions.
• Keep compliance rationale auditable, objective, and defensible.
• Limit technical architecture mentions solely to payment gateway routing and user interface handoffs.

Output format

Deliver a store compliance brief in 4 labeled sections:

1. Nonprofit Developer Profile & Exemption Scope (max 150 words)
2. Payment Architecture & Fee-Exemption Justification (annotated flow explanation)
3. App Review Submission Narrative (verbatim submission text, max 300 words)
4. Compliance Checklist & Audit Evidence (bulleted checklist of 6-8 required artifacts)

Self-review

• Is the legal exemption justification sound under current Apple and Google terms?
• Does the payment flow clearly isolate donations from digital goods purchases?
• Is the submission narrative ready to paste directly into review correspondence?
