Your Support Offers Critical Care to the Most Vulnerable Children
For children in poverty, accessing basic needs is already a challenge. When urgent situations like natural disasters occur, finding emergency resources is an impossible feat, placing children at serious risk.
During these situations, children face new needs that sponsorship funds can’t cover. As a Partner of Compassion, you’ll provide the extra level of care that’s needed most.
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.

Nine-year-old Esther's family lost everything, including their home, when heavy rain triggered floods and landslides in Rwanda.
With the help of the local church, Esther’s mother received funds to rent a temporary home. Esther and her four siblings received a warm place to stay as well as food, medical care and emotional support to help them cope with the trauma of loss.
