You can edit or cancel your recurring plan at any time, whether or not you have a Givebutter login. The easiest way to edit your recurring plan is to click the management link at the bottom of any Givebutter receipt. The options you can change at any time include:

• amount of the donation

• frequency of the donation

• status of the plan – Active, Paused, or Canceled

• date of the next recurring charge

• payment method – credit or debit card used, as applicable

• processing fee settings

Creating a recurring plan does not automatically create a Givebutter login, account, or user profile, nor is one required. Don't worry, you can still edit your recurring plan without a login.

Edit your recurring plan ✏️

• Near the bottom of an email receipt you've received, you'll see a link to manage your recurring donation.

You can use any receipt associated with the relevant recurring plan – it doesn't need to be the most recent receipt.

• Clicking this link in your receipt will direct you to a Givebutter web page titled Manage Your Gift. You'll see a summary of your current recurring plan.

• Click Edit Plan to make changes.

Before you submit a donation you must read the text on the donation form.  It says....

An optional tip allows Tres Islas Orphanage Fund Incorporated to use Givebutter's 100% free fundraising platform and keeps it running for all nonprofits. Thank you!  

IT IS AUTOMATICALLY SET AT 15% - THIS ADDS SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE TOTAL YOU DONATE. 

​

YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO CHANGE THIS.  YOU CAN SELECT ONLY 1% OR LESS - AND THEREFORE ALL THE MONEY YOU DONATE WILL GO TOWARDS THE CHILDREN AND TRES ISLAS. 

​

THERE IS NO WAY TO CHANGE THIS AFTER THE DONATION HAS BEEN MADE - SO PLEASE READ THE DONATION FORM IN FULL AND CHANGE THIS AMOUNT BEFORE YOU SUBMIT YOUR DONATION. 

​

THIS IS IMPORTANT TO READ AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE MAKING A DONATION ****

​

​

We all work as volunteers or are paid through specific directed donations - so 100% OF YOUR DONATION GOES TO THE CHILDREN AND THE HOMES WE SERVE. 

​

We never give the homes cash. We buy the things they need and deliver them to make sure we know where every cent of your donation is used. 

We are a US 501C3 - so your donation is 100% tax deductible if you are a US citizen or pay taxes in the United States. 

​

Our EIN number is #84-1671880

You can contact us about needs at specific homes at any time and we can let you know what they currently need.  They often can use soap, light bulbs, toilet paper, personal care products, food, and cleaning supplies. Most of our donors find it is easier though to donate the money and allow us to purchase and provide the supplies to each home as needed rather than do this themselves.  We discourage donors from giving cash donations directly to the homes, but rather allow us to use systems perfected over 40 years to make sure the homes needs are met. 

​

Many donors desire to bring used clothing and shoes to Mazatlan for the children, unfortunately these items are rarely needed. Please contact us before bringing these types of items to Mexico. 

Yes, you are welcome to make directed donations and can let us know which child or home you wish your money to be used for. You are welcome to sponsor a child at a home of your choice - through our sponsor a child program. We don't specifically assign you a child by name, but that doesn't mean you can't ask us to provide certain things for a child of your choice. Just let us know what you desire. 

​

We recommend choosing a home rather than a specific child when possible because you can then visit and get involved with that home and build relationships there. We find that works best.
