A detached donation is one in which funds is donated to Arabeyes' general fund without any strings attached. In other words, the funds are given to Arabeyes to do with it as it sees fit given the donation expenditure guidelines within Arabeyes are met. All amounts, dates, donors (unless requested otherwise) will be publicly noted and available.

An attached donation is that in which funds are only donated given these funds are spent on a particular project/task (not individual). In these instances Arabeyes requests that a minimum of 3 options (projects/tasks) are presented for Arabeyes' managers to select from. If agreement is reached and a schedule is adopted 50% of the donation will be requested prior to start of work with the remaining 50% to be delivered upon completion. All finances are to go to Arabeyes' general fund. Arabeyes is then free to dispose of any amounts deemed necessary per its expenditure guidelines. Any disputes and/or discussions with regard to payment or project delivery are to be made available to the public in a timely manner. All amounts, dates, donors (unless requested otherwise) will be publicly noted and available.

An attached donation to individuals is that in which funds are only donated given certain individuals are to benefit from said funds. Arabeyes will not take any part of such transactions and is thus not liable nor responsible for them. Donations, as far as Arabeyes are concerned are for the benefit of the project and community at large and not select individuals.
