Managing Your Sponsorship

Table of Contents

Your Donor Account page allows you to view and manage your current and past sponsorships. Through this page you can manage your payment methods, update your address, and cancel an active sponsorship.

If you have any troubles, send us an email.

Important Notes Before You Begin

  • Your monthly sponsorship payments are referred to as “Subscriptions” — if you see the term “subscriptions” it is referring to your ongoing payments.
  • Updating your information through this account dashboard does not update it in our donor database. We also aren’t notified when you update this information. If you have a new name or email address, in addition to updating it here on your account, please also contact us.
  • This account page is only for sponsorships that were created from July 2022 onward.  If your sponsorship was set-up through our old system (prior to July 2022), please fill out our Sponsorship Transition form and we will be happy to assist you.
  • Please do not send updated payment information via email or this website’s contact form. For security reasons, please only update your payment method through this account page. If you have troubles or are otherwise unable to do so, please contact us but do not include your payment details in the message.
