About the Steven Bailey Foundation
The Steven Bailey Foundation is a nonprofit charitable organization organized to carry out charitable, educational, and community-support activities.
The Foundation may operate programs involving plumbing assistance, essential home services, educational programs, scholarships, volunteer activities, charitable distributions, community outreach, and other activities consistent with its charitable mission.
Information appearing on this website is intended to describe Foundation programs and provide general information. The website does not create an entitlement to Foundation assistance, funding, scholarships, services, employment, volunteer placement, or any other benefit.
No Guarantee of Assistance
Submitting an application, assistance request, inquiry, scholarship application, volunteer application, employment application, or other form does not guarantee acceptance, approval, funding, assistance, services, or any other benefit.
The Foundation retains sole discretion, subject to applicable law and its governing documents, to determine:
- Whether an applicant satisfies program eligibility requirements
- Whether assistance is available
- The type and amount of assistance provided
- Which applications receive priority
- Whether additional documentation or verification is required
- Whether a requested project falls within the Foundation’s charitable mission
- Whether available financial, personnel, material, or operational resources are sufficient
- Whether an application should be approved, denied, deferred, referred, or otherwise handled
The Foundation may establish, modify, suspend, or discontinue eligibility requirements, application procedures, geographic service areas, program limits, funding limits, and other program criteria at any time.
Plumbing and Essential-Services Assistance
Information submitted through a plumbing or home-services assistance application is used to evaluate possible charitable assistance.
Submission of an application does not create a customer relationship, contractor relationship, service agreement, warranty, work authorization, or obligation to perform work.
No plumbing, construction, repair, inspection, diagnostic, or other professional service is authorized until the Foundation or an authorized service provider expressly agrees to provide the service.
The Foundation may require additional evaluation, documentation, photographs, property access, ownership or occupancy verification, permits, inspections, contractor participation, or other conditions before assistance can be approved or performed.
The Foundation may decline assistance when conditions are unsafe, outside the scope of an available contractor’s license, beyond available funding, structurally unsuitable, legally prohibited, outside the Foundation’s service area, or otherwise impractical.
Emergency Situations
The Steven Bailey Foundation is not an emergency service.
Do not rely on this website, an application form, email, voicemail, or Foundation communication for an emergency involving fire, gas leaks, flooding, sewage exposure, electrical hazards, structural collapse, immediate threats to health or safety, or other urgent conditions.
In an emergency, contact 911, the appropriate utility provider, local emergency services, your property owner or manager when applicable, or a qualified emergency contractor.
Submitting an online request does not guarantee that it will be reviewed immediately.
No Professional Advice
Information provided through this website is for general informational and educational purposes only.
Nothing on this website constitutes individualized:
- Legal advice
- Tax advice
- Accounting advice
- Financial advice
- Medical advice
- Engineering advice
- Architectural advice
- Real-estate advice
- Plumbing diagnosis
- Construction advice
- Safety certification
- Code-compliance determination
Website information should not replace an evaluation by an appropriately qualified professional when professional advice or services are required.
Separate Organizations
The Steven Bailey Foundation and Steven Bailey Plumbing & Rooter, Bailey Mechanical, or any affiliated or separately operated commercial business are separate organizations unless expressly stated otherwise.
A commercial relationship with Steven Bailey Plumbing & Rooter or another affiliated business does not guarantee or improve eligibility for Foundation assistance.
Likewise, receiving assistance from the Foundation does not require an applicant to become a commercial customer of an affiliated business.
Commercial payments, purchases, service agreements, reviews, referrals, or other business relationships will not determine charitable eligibility.
Where an affiliated or third-party contractor performs charitable services on behalf of the Foundation, the applicable parties may enter into separate documentation governing the actual work.
Scholarships
Submitting a scholarship application does not guarantee an award.
The Foundation reserves the right to establish and modify scholarship eligibility requirements, application periods, award amounts, selection criteria, deadlines, documentation requirements, and the number of scholarships awarded.
Applications may be evaluated based on criteria established by the Foundation, which may include academic performance, financial need, community involvement, personal circumstances, educational goals, completeness of application, residency, and other mission-consistent considerations.
Scholarship decisions are final unless the Foundation elects to reconsider a decision.
The Foundation may cancel, postpone, modify, or decline to award a scholarship if sufficient qualified applications are not received, funding becomes unavailable, a program is discontinued, or other circumstances make an award impractical.
Applicant Accuracy and Verification
Applicants are responsible for providing information that is accurate, complete, and truthful to the best of their knowledge.
The Foundation may request documentation or take reasonable steps to verify information submitted in connection with:
- Assistance applications
- Scholarship applications
- Volunteer applications
- Employment applications
- Donation matters
- Program eligibility
The Foundation may deny, withdraw, suspend, or terminate consideration or assistance if information is materially false, misleading, incomplete, fraudulent, or cannot reasonably be verified.
Knowingly providing false information may result in disqualification from current or future Foundation programs.
No Fraud or Misrepresentation
Users may not use the website or Foundation programs to:
- Submit fraudulent applications
- Impersonate another person
- Misrepresent household, financial, property, educational, or eligibility information
- Submit false documents
- Interfere with website security
- Attempt unauthorized access to Foundation systems
- Introduce malicious software
- Harvest information about applicants, donors, volunteers, or staff
- Abuse application or donation systems
- Engage in unlawful activity
The Foundation reserves the right to investigate suspicious activity and cooperate with financial institutions, technology providers, regulators, law enforcement agencies, or other appropriate parties where reasonably necessary.
Volunteers
Submission of a volunteer application does not create an employment relationship, contractual right, guaranteed placement, or entitlement to participate in Foundation activities.
The Foundation may establish screening, qualification, training, background-check, insurance, licensing, driving, safety, supervision, or other requirements appropriate to a volunteer role.
The Foundation may accept, decline, suspend, or terminate a volunteer relationship at any time, subject to applicable law.
Volunteers may be required to execute additional policies, waivers, confidentiality agreements, safety rules, or other documentation before participating in Foundation activities.
Employment and Careers
Information posted regarding employment opportunities does not constitute an offer of employment.
Submission of an employment application or résumé does not create an employment contract or guarantee an interview, offer, or future employment.
Employment decisions are made in accordance with applicable law and the Foundation’s employment policies.
Donations
Donations made through the website or through third-party donation platforms are also subject to the Foundation’s Donation Policy.
Unless expressly accepted as a restricted gift, donations are generally available for use in furtherance of the Foundation’s charitable mission at the Foundation’s discretion.
Making a donation does not provide preferential access to assistance, scholarships, employment, contracts, volunteer positions, grants, or other Foundation benefits.
Privacy
Use of this website is also governed by the Foundation’s Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, retained, disclosed, and protected.
Users should not submit Social Security numbers, passwords, complete financial-account information, complete payment-card numbers, medical records, or other highly sensitive information through general website forms unless specifically instructed through an approved secure process.
Website Analytics and Cookies
The Foundation may use cookies, website analytics, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, security technologies, and other approved tools consistent with its Privacy Policy.
Such technologies may be used to evaluate website performance, understand general usage patterns, improve accessibility and functionality, measure outreach, protect against abuse, and troubleshoot technical issues.
The Foundation does not intend to use website analytics tools to collect the substantive contents of scholarship applications, assistance applications, or other sensitive form submissions.
Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the Foundation’s name, logos, trademarks, website design, written materials, original graphics, forms, program materials, photographs, videos, policies, educational content, and other original materials may be protected by copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property laws.

Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Steven Bailey Foundation, its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, representatives, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising solely from use of or inability to use the website.
The Foundation is not responsible for losses resulting from reliance on general website information, third-party websites, internet outages, unauthorized third-party activity, or circumstances outside the Foundation’s reasonable control.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
Actual Charitable Services
The limitations applicable to general website use should not be interpreted as replacing any separate written agreement, warranty, work authorization, contractor obligation, insurance requirement, or legal duty that may apply when actual services are approved and performed.
Where charitable construction, plumbing, repair, or other services are undertaken, separate documentation may govern those services.
User Responsibility
Users are responsible for maintaining appropriate security over their own devices, accounts, email addresses, passwords, and communications.
Users should independently verify suspicious communications claiming to originate from the Foundation, particularly communications requesting money, passwords, banking credentials, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or unusual payment methods.

Indemnification for Misuse
To the extent permitted by law, users who intentionally misuse the website, submit fraudulent information, violate intellectual-property rights, introduce malicious software, or engage in unlawful activity may be responsible for losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising from that misconduct.
This provision is not intended to impose liability on an ordinary user acting in good faith.
Non-Discrimination
The Foundation administers its programs subject to applicable nondiscrimination laws and its published Non-Discrimination Statement.
Nothing in these Terms authorizes discrimination prohibited by applicable law.

Individuals experiencing difficulty accessing website information may contact the Foundation for reasonable assistance.
Additional information is available in the Foundation’s Accessibility Statement.
No Waiver
Failure by the Foundation to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a permanent waiver of that provision or any other right.
Severability
If any portion of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by applicable federal law and the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles that would require application of another jurisdiction’s laws.
Nothing in this provision overrides any jurisdiction, venue, consumer, charitable, or statutory right that cannot lawfully be modified by agreement.
