General Information

Doctors Without Borders Notice Period & Conditions

Recurring donations to Doctors Without Borders continue until the donor chooses to cancel. Monthly or annual contributions are typically deducted automatically from a registered bank account or credit card. To avoid additional charges, donors should request cancellation at least a few business days before their next scheduled payment. Since MSF does not enforce contractual obligations, cancellations can generally be processed at any time without penalty.

Some donors may have pledged contributions as part of a campaign or specific commitment period. In such cases, reviewing any agreement associated with the donation is advisable. If adjustments or special cancellation terms apply, MSF will typically communicate those during the initial pledge process.

If you donate through workplace giving or payroll deduction programs, your cancellation process may differ. Some employers process charitable deductions independently, so reaching out to both your employer and MSF can ensure the donation stops completely.

What Information Does Doctors Without Borders Need?

To cancel a recurring donation, donors must provide identifying details associated with their contribution. This generally includes the full name on the donation account, the email address or phone number used during registration, and payment details if required for verification. Providing a donor ID or reference number, if available, can further streamline the cancellation request.

If the donation was set up through a third-party platform or employer giving program, additional steps may be necessary to process the cancellation through that respective system. Verifying the cancellation with both MSF and the donation platform ensures payments are fully discontinued.

If you used a credit card for your donation, ensure that no further charges are deducted after your cancellation request is processed. Checking your bank statements for the next billing cycle can provide confirmation that the cancellation was successful.

What Happens After I Cancel My Doctors Without Borders Donation?

Once a cancellation request is processed, future scheduled donations will cease. If the cancellation occurs after a recent charge, MSF will typically retain that contribution and apply it toward their medical efforts. Refunds for past donations are generally not available, as donations are considered final once processed.

Even after canceling recurring donations, past donors may still receive email updates and mail correspondence from MSF. If you prefer to opt out of future communications, you can request removal from their mailing list separately.

For those who previously donated through automated giving programs, it may take one billing cycle before all deductions stop, particularly if the payment was scheduled in advance. Checking for confirmation from MSF can provide peace of mind.

Can I Also Contact Doctors Without Borders Directly?

Yes, MSF provides multiple ways to cancel donations directly. Donors can contact the organization by phone, email, or through an online donation management portal if available. MSF's donor support team assists with cancellations and can also address any related inquiries, such as confirming the final charge date or updating payment details.

For those who signed up through workplace giving programs, partner platforms, or financial institutions, contacting both MSF and the respective payment processor ensures the donation is fully canceled.

If you prefer written confirmation, you can request an email or letter verifying your cancellation. Keeping this documentation is useful in case there are any future discrepancies in billing.

Can I Revoke My Donation Cancellation?

If you cancel your donation but later decide to resume giving, you can reactivate your recurring contribution at any time. This can be done through the MSF website or by contacting donor support. If your previous donation details are still on file, re-enrollment may be quicker. However, in some cases, setting up a new donation may require updating payment information and preferences.

For those who opted out of communications, re-enrolling may not automatically resume mail or email updates. If you wish to receive donor communications again, updating your contact preferences with MSF may be necessary.

Donors who previously participated in special programs or campaigns may need to specify whether they wish to donate to the same initiative or switch to general donations.

How Do I Check my Doctors Without Borders Donation?

Donors can review their contribution history through the MSF website’s donation portal if they created an account during signup. Alternatively, donation details may be accessible through confirmation emails or monthly credit card and bank statements.

If you do not have access to your online donation history, MSF’s donor support team can provide account details upon request. They can confirm the last payment date, upcoming charges, and the status of any active recurring donations.

For tax purposes, MSF typically provides annual receipts for donations. Checking your donation records ensures you have the necessary documentation for any tax deductions related to charitable contributions.

How Long Does the Donation Cancellation Process Take?

Most donation cancellations are processed immediately upon request. However, depending on the payment method and processing times, it may take a few business days for the cancellation to reflect on your bank or credit card statement. If a charge was recently deducted, it may still appear in the current billing cycle even after cancellation.

For third-party donation platforms or workplace giving programs, processing times may vary. In such cases, confirming cancellation with both MSF and the payment provider ensures the request is fully completed.

If you donated via check or direct bank transfer, cancellations may take longer due to banking procedures. It is advisable to monitor your financial statements to confirm that no further deductions occur.
