What happens when you cancel

Timing and processing

Cancellations for Greenpeace Africa may take up to one month to come into effect after the request is received.

Processing times for Greenpeace Aotearoa (NZ) depend on the supporter team’s processes and your payment provider.

Access, renewal and data

Your supporter record and contact preferences may still be retained for administrative or legal purposes unless you request deletion.

Will I get a refund?

Greenpeace Africa refund policy

Amounts already donated while the mandate was in force are not refunded under Greenpeace Africa policy.

A cancellation stops future payments; it does not entitle you to a retroactive refund for past payments.

Greenpeace Aotearoa and other exceptions

Greenpeace Aotearoa generally does not offer “change-of-mind” refunds, but contacting the supporter team before the next scheduled payment may allow options in some cases.

Other Greenpeace offices (notably some in other jurisdictions) may have different practices for erroneous donations; these do not apply to Greenpeace Africa unless explicitly stated.
