General Information

CARE International Notice Period & Conditions

CARE International typically does not require a long notice period for stopping recurring donations. If you're giving monthly or quarterly, your next donation may still be processed if the cancellation request is not submitted in advance. In most cases, cancellations are effective immediately or take effect from the next billing cycle.

Some donors may have set up donations through third-party payment systems or employer payroll contributions. In these situations, notice periods may vary depending on the system through which your donation was made. Contacting either CARE International or the third-party provider directly is essential to ensure the donation is fully cancelled.

What Information Does CARE International Need?

To process your cancellation, CARE International will usually request details that verify your donor account. This may include your full name, the email address you used when signing up, the donation frequency, and the payment method details.

If you donated through a dedicated donor portal or received a confirmation email after signing up, that message may contain your unique donor ID or a reference number. Providing that information can speed up the cancellation process.

What Happens After I Cancel My CARE International Donation?

Once your cancellation is confirmed, CARE International will no longer deduct funds from your bank account or credit card. However, you may continue receiving newsletters, updates, or tax-related receipts if you have opted into their communications.

If you wish to stop receiving any form of contact, you can update your preferences through their donor portal or by emailing their support team. Cancelled donors are typically thanked for their past contributions, and their historical donation data remains stored securely for accounting and compliance purposes.

Can I Also Contact CARE International Directly?

Yes, CARE International offers several ways to get in touch. The most common approach is through their official website, where a contact or “Manage My Donation” section is available. You can also email their donor support or call the helpline number provided on your donation receipt.

Office hours may vary depending on your country, but most donor support teams respond within a few business days. If your donation was initiated via bank transfer, you may also need to notify your bank to stop automatic payments.

Can I Revoke My Donation Cancellation?

In some instances, donors change their minds after canceling a recurring donation. CARE International may allow reinstatement of your donation if your cancellation request has not yet been fully processed. Reach out to their donor services team promptly if you wish to undo a cancellation.

In cases where your donation has already stopped, you can re-enroll in the program using your previous login or set up a new donation through their website. No fees are charged for resuming your support.

How Do I Check my CARE International Donation?

To view your donation history or confirm if a cancellation has gone through, log into your donor account on the CARE International website. If you don't remember your login, use the email recovery option or contact donor support.

Your account section will display all prior donations, payment dates, and next scheduled contributions if still active. Any changes made, such as pausing or stopping donations, are usually reflected in real-time. Double-checking your payment records is a good way to ensure the cancellation has been executed.

How Long Does the Donation Cancellation Process Take?

The time it takes to cancel a donation depends on how you initially set it up. If you used a credit card or PayPal through the CARE website, cancellations are usually instant. If you used bank transfers or payroll giving programs, it might take a few days.

You’ll typically receive a confirmation email once your cancellation has been completed. Until you receive this email, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on your payment method to avoid accidental charges.
