Why does my donation have to be verified over the phone?
We want to verify contact and payment information for accuracy and your security. The call also ensures that donors understand the monthly giving program before completing enrollment. The call only takes about 2-3 minutes and prevents data entry errors or misunderstandings about the ongoing commitment of giving donations monthly. The verification centre phone number is 1-877-540-6464.
Why do you need to take a picture of my void cheque?
When a monthly donor chooses to give through automatic withdrawal from their bank account, the banking information at the bottom of the cheque needs to be recorded. The most accurate way to record that information is by taking a picture of the cheque. The banking information is then sent to us through a secured PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) compliant process.
