How We Use This Fund

Your gift helps the local church respond right away.

When catastrophes like Cyclone Ditwah strike, children in poverty often suffer the most. Families lose homes, access to food and clean water, as well as the stability they depend on, with no savings to fall back on and no way to recover alone.

Your gift empowers local churches — already trusted and embedded in their communities — to act quickly. Disaster Relief funds help provide immediate, life-sustaining support such as food, clean water, hygiene supplies, safe shelter and medical care. How can you enable Compassion to respond following disaster?

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. Here’s a brief explanation of how funds are allocated:

In fiscal year 2025, 80% of every dollar went straight to program work through our local church partners — including education, medical care, nutrition, child protection and sharing God’s love with children living in poverty and their families.

When many step forward, the burden is shared and hope moves faster.

Supporters like you help Compassion respond immediately when disasters strike, ensuring children and families are not left waiting in moments of crisis. Your generosity helps communities recover, rebuild and find hope again.
