How We Use This Fund

Your gift helps the local church respond immediately.

When catastrophe strikes, children and families urgently need help. In communities facing poverty, most families have no savings to fall back on, no margin to recover on their own.

Your donation equips local churches to respond right away and to meet immediate and critical needs such as food, clean water, safe shelter and medical care.

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.
