Trustworthy Charity

Our desire is to be an organization worthy of your trust. We are committed to integrity not just in our work with children, but also in how we handle your tax-deductible child sponsorship donations.

We strive to be transparent and above reproach in every aspect of our finances. Here are a few reasons you can trust us:

• We have been endorsed by financial watchdog groups:

  • The Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance

  • Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (we are a founding member)

  • Charity Navigator, America's largest charity evaluator, has awarded Compassion its highest rating -- four stars -- for twelve consecutive years, placing Compassion in the top one percent of all charities.

• All your donations are guaranteed secure through VeriSign. This means any money and information you give us online will stay safe.

• Currently, over 82% of every dollar you give goes directly to program activities helping children in our programs. We commit to you that this will never, ever drop below 80%. This is one of the highest percentages for an organization like ours.

• We've been taking stewardship seriously since 1952, nearly sixty years. Its our goal to be good stewards of the resources that have been entrusted to us by our faithful sponsors and donors.

We know what a significant, life-altering decision child sponsorship can be so we encourage you to do your research. Ask the important questions and address any doubts you might have. We know youll be pleased with what you learn.
