Giving Options - A Variety of Way to Make a Difference

Compassion offers a variety of ways to make your donations.  They are not only convenient for you, but beneficial to your sponsored child.  Choosing one of the options below will eliminate the need to write a monthly cheque.  It will also decrease the administrative costs associated with this method of payment, allowing us to send a greater amount of money to help your sponsored child.  Don’t wait!  Choose one of the options below and experience the freedom of giving… no stamps attached!

Pre-authorized Bank Withdrawal  + Expand

Your monthly donation can be automatically withdrawn from your bank account on the 5th or 15th of each month.

Call us toll-free at 1.800.563.5437 (Mon—Fri 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST) to inform us that you would like to arrange for pre-authorized bank withdrawals.  Make sure you have your transit number, bank code, and account number ready to provide (these numbers appear at the bottom of your cheques). 

This payment option will remain in effect until notice to end this agreement is given to Compassion Canada or your bank.  In the event that a discrepancy in the transferred amount exists, please contact Compassion Canada directly for amendment.

Pre-authorized Credit Card Payment  + Expand

Your monthly donation can be automatically charged to your credit card on the 25th of each month.

Call us toll-free at 1.800.563.5437 (Mon—Fri 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST) to inform us that you would like to arrange for pre-authorized credit card withdrawals.  Make sure you have your credit card number ready to provide.

Please note: If we are unable to withdraw funds on the 25th of the month, we will try again within the next five business days.  Please ensure that you inform Compassion Canada of the new expiry date of your credit card when necessary.  Transactions cannot be processed without this information once a credit card expires and this information can only be provided by the cardholder.

If there are discrepancies in the amount debited to your credit card, please contact Compassion Canada directly for correction.
