Your Donation Meets a Child's Most Urgent Needs
This fund is used for any pressing needs in our field countries. Your gift will bring hope and care to children facing the most challenging situations, from natural disasters to disease.
Gifts to this fund are given to children and families on an as-needed basis.
Compassion staff work closely with local church partners to determine what funding is needed and how your donation can be used most effectively.
Your gift to the Critical Program Needs Fund will be an answer to prayer for things like clean water, new computers, ongoing medical treatment and beyond.
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.
Donating Helps Children Like Joycelyn
When Joycelyn was diagnosed with a serious kidney disorder at age 2, her family fell into debt trying to afford treatment.
Compassion stepped in with medical support, food and help finding work — just when they needed it most. “Because of Compassion,” Joycelyn’s mother says, “we’re no longer in debt, and we always have food to eat.”
