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.

When we first met Kate, she felt voiceless and alone. “When I joined the center, I felt like I couldn’t speak. I had lost hope. The father of Pamela had abandoned us. I was so hurt and didn’t even know if I could give birth. Compassion was my intervention,” says Kate.
Now, Kate’s fully immersed in a loving community that empowers her, prays for her and cares for her. And her baby Pamela is getting the love and care she needs to grow healthy and strong.
