Introduction
At Technology Books for Children, we are committed to fostering ethical partnerships that align with our mission of promoting access to technology education for children. As part of our commitment to transparency, integrity, and accountability, we have developed this Acceptance and Refusal of Donations Policy to outline our stance on the refusal and acceptance of donations.
