For your convenience, the Fathers & Families Coalition of America exclusively accepts credit card payments for registration through our online enrollment system, powered by EZFacility. This streamlined process ensures a smooth registration experience for you. However, please note that due to past experiences with non-payment and attendance changes, we have implemented a rigorous policy of no cancellations, refunds, or transfers for registrations, which has been firmly in place for over a decade.
The 'No refunds, carryovers, or transfers' policy is critical because we are a 501 C3 nonprofit, and each registrant submission necessitates payment for FFCA Conference attendance. If payment is made after the conference, the at-the-door terms will be applied, which may result in additional fees or limited access to certain conference features.
We reserve the right to reject applications for attendance at future FFCA Conferences, Institutes, training, or Specialty Programs, particularly from those with a history of non-payment. Only entities that have paid for registration for the 2024 international conference in full will be permitted to make Purchase Order payments. This policy has been maintained for over a decade, similar to TED Talk and other NGO-led events.
For any queries or concerns, we are here to assist you. Please do not hesitate to email us at alfie@fathersandfamiliescoalition.org or call 424-225-1323. Your satisfaction is our priority.
