How to Cancel Your Easterseals Donation

This guide provides clear, actionable steps to navigate the process of canceling a donation made to Easterseals. The following information will help you prepare and execute your cancellation efficiently, ensuring a smooth experience.

Information to Prepare Before Contacting Easterseals

Before contacting Easterseals to cancel a donation, gathering specific details can streamline the process. Have your full legal name, the mailing address associated with your donation, your email address, and the phone number used when making the donation readily available.

Know the precise details of the contribution you wish to cancel, including the exact amount and its frequency (one-time or recurring payment). Knowing the date of your most recent donation helps narrow down records. Identify the payment method utilized, such as credit card type or bank account details. If you received a donor identification or account number, having this information prepared can further expedite the cancellation.

Canceling Your Donation

Easterseals offers several methods to manage or cancel contributions. If you have a monthly donation, log into your donor account on the Easterseals Donation page to modify your giving preferences. After logging in, navigate to the section for managing donations, where you can change or cancel your recurring contribution. Following the prompts will guide you through confirming the cancellation process.

Alternatively, contacting Easterseals directly by phone is an effective way to cancel a donation. The national contact number is 1-800-221-6827. When speaking with a representative, provide the prepared information, including your full name, contact details, and specific donation information, to verify your identity and donation details. This direct communication allows for immediate confirmation of your cancellation request.

Sending a formal request via mail is also an option. A letter should clearly state your intention to cancel the donation and include your name, address, contact information, donation amount, frequency, and the payment method used. While specific cancellation mailing addresses might vary by local affiliate, a general request can be sent to a central organizational address, such as 141 W Jackson Blvd, Suite 1400A, Chicago, IL 60604.

Verifying Your Cancellation

After initiating the cancellation process, confirm that your request has been successfully processed. Easterseals typically processes cancellations quickly; online cancellations often take around 10 minutes to complete. Check for a confirmation email or letter from Easterseals acknowledging the cessation of your donation.

To ensure no further charges occur, monitor your bank or credit card statements for at least one to two billing cycles following the cancellation. This allows you to verify that no additional donations are debited from your account. If you do not receive a confirmation or if charges persist beyond the expected processing time (usually a few business days), contact Easterseals again for clarification and to re-verify the cancellation.
