PLEDGE PROGRAM

The Promise to Africa Pledge Program Online helps fund CADRA programs that save the lives of millions of people in Africa each year. Take a step above and beyond the standard one-time gift by becoming a Promise to Africa online pledge donor.

Promise to Africa is a recurring-donation program that provides a steady and cost-effective source of income to CADRA. Because your monthly online pledge donation is processed automatically, you help us reduce our costs - which allows us to fund more programs and help more people in Africa.

How it works. As an online pledge donor, you will be registering to make a credit-card donation every month. After you make your initial pledge donation, future pledge gifts will be made automatically. For example, if you choose to make a monthly donation of $35 today, your next donation of $35 will be automatically charged to your account in exactly one month to the day, and each subsequent month thereafter.

Each month you will receive an e-mail receipt for your donation for that period. After your initial pledge donation, you will also receive an e-mail message with a password and a link to the Pledge Donor Centre, where you can review your transaction history or change your personal information (name, address, login and password). To change your donation options (amount, frequency, credit card information, etc.) or to cancel your recurring donation at any time, e-mail CADRA's Pledge Coordinator at pledge@Canada-Africa.org.

If you wish to receive your pledge receipts by regular mail rather than e-mail, please click here.
