Appendix B — Charitable Donation Alternative (Public‑Sector Referrers)
For public‑sector researchers, government employees, and university staff who cannot accept personal payment:
B.1. Eligibility to Elect Donation
You may elect a donation if your employer/funding body prohibits acceptance of referral payments, or local law/procurement policies restrict personal benefits.
B.2. How It Works
Instead of a personal payment, Sequoia will donate USD $100 per eligible LISST‑Logger unit to a recognized non‑profit charitable organization either:
(a) selected from Sequoia’s list of qualified organizations, or
(b) proposed by the Referrer and approved by Sequoia.
The donation may be made in your name where permissible.
Donation timing follows §6 (delivery, acceptance, payment in full).
B.3. Constraints
Donations can only be made to organizations legally eligible to receive funds from a U.S. company and that pass sanctions screening.
Donations cannot be made to political organizations, government bodies, or organizations that do not meet Sequoia’s due‑diligence standards.
Donations are not tax‑deductible to the Referrer; any tax treatment belongs to Sequoia.
