Compassion's Commitment to Financial Integrity
When you give through Compassion, you can be confident that funds will be used to transform the lives of children in Jesus’ name.
2026 Accountability Report
Download our annual Accountability Report to see our commitment to responsible stewardship and impactful change. We are a founding member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, an accredited charity with the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance, and in 2025, Compassion was ranked no. 11 in the Forbes America's Top Charities List.
Your Contributions Are Stewarded Wisely
Every gift you give through Compassion is handled with integrity and care. We follow strict financial guardrails to ensure accountability, transparency and the flexibility to invest wisely for long-term impact.
We invest every dollar in one of three ways
Implementing our program today
Inviting the next child (and their supporter) into the program
Sustaining and enhancing our ability to deliver excellent programs
These investments are typically referred to as “Program,” “Fundraising” and “Administrative” expenses, respectively. Compassion’s rigorous annual strategic planning and budgeting process determines the resources allocated to Program, Fundraising and Administration. Our policy is to ensure that 75 to 82 cents on the dollar will always be allocated to Program expenses.
By the Numbers

Additional Resources
As a Christian charity, we’re committed to being good stewards of the resources you entrust to us. Since 2020, we’ve published an annual Accountability Report that provides transparency into how we operate and deliver impact as a ministry, complementing our audited financial statements. Both reports are available to show how your partnership is making a difference around the globe.
Every year an independent auditing group reviews Compassion's financial statements. Download the report to see where every incoming penny is allocated throughout our organization.
