How We Use Your Donation

Your Gift Helps Meet Critical Needs

Millions of children face the overwhelming challenges of poverty every day. Your gift will be used where it’s needed most to offer hope.

Your gift could provide life-saving care for a child suffering from a severe medical condition. It could drill a community well, provide a center with electricity or even help build clean bathrooms.

The best part? Your gift empowers a local church to show children just how loved they are by God.

Disaster Relief

Deliver emergency food, clean water and support after a natural or man-made disaster.

Urgent Health Care

Provide medical visits, emergency surgeries, immunizations and trauma counseling to children in need.

Safe Water

Give access to clean water sources and sanitary bathroom facilities to prevent sickness.

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.

From our President and CEO

“Thank you for equipping our frontline church partners for the unplanned but critical needs that so often arise. When a child falls ill, when a natural disaster strikes, when conflict breaks out or when faced with unexpected opportunity to advance Compassion’s cause, we must be ready to extend God’s love and care without hesitation.”
Santiago “Jimmy” Mellado, Compassion International President and CEO
