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

  1. Implementing our program today

  2. Inviting the next child (and their supporter) into the program

  3. 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.

Help Children Like Ruth

When an earthquake destroyed her home in Haiti, Ruth’s future felt uncertain. But through the local church, she received emergency aid, trauma counseling and consistent support.

Your gift helps those like Ruth thrive despite their circumstances. Your generosity provides children with essential care in their moments of greatest need.
