What happens when you cancel

Future charges

Cancellation stops future recurring charges once the request is processed. Expect no new monthly debits after cancellation takes effect.

Access and records

Your donor account and donation history remain accessible for records and tax purposes unless you request data removal. Cancellation does not erase past donations.

Processing delays

Some donors report charges appearing after cancellation requests, which may indicate processing delays. If charges continue, follow up with Donor Services or your bank.

Will I get a refund?

General policy

Heifer does not provide an explicit, automatic refund policy for donations; processed donations are generally retained by the charity. Cancellation prevents future charges but does not usually trigger refunds for past transactions.

Exceptions & follow-up

• If you were charged after cancelling, contact Donor Services immediately with transaction details to request review.
• If a processing error occurred, Heifer may investigate and remedy on a case‑by‑case basis; refunds are not guaranteed.

How donations are treated

Donations are voluntary gifts and are typically treated differently from consumer purchases under Singapore law. Standard statutory cooling-off or automatic refund rights for goods/services do not generally apply to donations.

Practical steps for Singapore donors

• Keep transaction records and correspondence when cancelling or requesting refunds.
• If you used a Singapore bank card and unauthorized charges continue, contact your bank to dispute or stop future payments.
• For serious unresolved issues, consider contacting local consumer protection authorities for guidance on payment disputes.

Customer experiences

Positive reports

Heifer is well rated for transparency and program effectiveness on charity rating pages, with praise for program impact and stewardship of funds.

Negative reports

Some donors report difficulty cancelling recurring donations and occasional continued billing after cancellation. Others mention persistent solicitation after opting out.

Balanced takeaway

Overall, many donors are satisfied with Heifer’s impact, but keep clear records and confirm cancellations to avoid unexpected charges.

Documentation checklist

What to prepare before cancelling

• Donor name and email associated with the account.
• Last four digits of the payment card or payment method used.
• Dates and amounts of recent charges you want reviewed.

What to save after cancelling

• Confirmation email or reference number from Donor Services.
• Screenshots of your donation settings showing cancellation.
• Bank or card statements showing any disputed charges.

Common mistakes

Not confirming cancellation

Donors sometimes assume cancellation is complete without receiving written confirmation. Always request and keep a confirmation email or reference number.

Canceling via the wrong channel

If donations were set up through PayPal, payroll or another third party, cancelling on Heifer.org may not stop charges. Cancel at the original platform to fully stop payments.

Delaying follow-up

If you see charges after cancellation, delaying contact reduces options. Act promptly with Donor Services and your bank to resolve unwanted charges.
