To cancel your donation effectively, make sure you have the essential details ready.

What Happens After I Cancel My Heifer International Donation?

Once your cancellation is processed, Heifer International will stop any upcoming charges to your credit card or bank account. You should receive an email confirmation that your recurring donation has been canceled. It's a good idea to save this confirmation for your records.

You might continue to receive emails or physical mail from Heifer International for a while. This doesn’t mean your cancellation was unsuccessful, it’s simply part of the outreach cycle. If you want to opt out of communication entirely, you’ll need to specifically request removal from their mailing list.

Any tax documents or donation summaries you received earlier remain valid. If you canceled in the middle of a tax year, your existing donations still qualify for charitable deductions in most cases.

Can I Also Contact Heifer International Directly?

Yes, you can reach out to Heifer International directly to cancel your donation. One of the simplest ways is by calling their Donor Services line. Their representatives can guide you through the cancellation steps over the phone. Alternatively, you can send them an email with your cancellation request, making sure to include all relevant donor information.

You can also log in to your online donor account, if you created one during your initial donation setup. Many users prefer this route because it offers a straightforward cancellation process through a few clicks.

If you donated via another platform, such as PayPal, Facebook Fundraisers, or your employer’s payroll system, you may need to cancel the donation through those specific channels.

Can I Revoke My Donation Cancellation?

If you change your mind after submitting a cancellation request, you can contact Heifer International to resume your donations. This is easier if the cancellation hasn't yet been fully processed. You may need to provide updated billing information or confirm your preferences before reactivation.

Even after a full cancellation, there’s no restriction on setting up a new donation in the future. You can start a new recurring plan anytime or make one-time donations as you wish.

Heifer International values all donors, whether they give once or choose to return after a break. There’s no reactivation fee or complicated process involved.

How Do I Check my Heifer International Donation?

If you’re unsure about your current donation status, you can check in several ways. First, if you created an online donor account, log in to review your donation history, billing status, and upcoming charges. This portal usually provides access to receipts, monthly summaries, and communication preferences.

Alternatively, you can call or email the support team to inquire about your active donations. Be prepared to verify your identity with basic details like your name, email, and donation amount or date.

You can also review your bank or credit card statements to see if any recent donations have been charged. If you notice any unfamiliar charges or duplicates, Heifer’s donor support team can clarify and assist with corrections if necessary.
