Memorial Gifts

Memorial Gifts are a special way to honor the memory of a loved one while helping children in poverty.

Memorial Gifts

If you have a loved one who cares deeply about releasing children from poverty, establishing a Memorial or Tribute Gift is a meaningful way to honor your loved one or to celebrate a special occasion while supporting Compassion. Your Memorial or Tribute Gift will be a lasting honor to your loved one and make a difference in the lives of children in need.  

Memorial Check 

In lieu of flowers, you can accept and send memorial checks to Compassion. All checks should be made out to Compassion International. In the memo or note portion of the check, each donor should write “Memorial Gift.”  

In return, Compassion will provide you with a memorial card that you can forward on to the family. Send all checks to: 

Compassion International 
Attn: Sponsor Donor Processing 
12290 Voyager Pkwy 
Colorado Springs, CO 80921 

Checks can be sent individually, or they can be collected and sent directly to our Sponsor Donor Processing Department. 

Memorial Webpage 

For many families, it is easiest to have a specific web link where those who are out of town or unable to attend the loved one’s memorial can donate. Compassion would like to help in this process! We can setup a web page for individuals to give online. We’ll customize this site for your loved one with content and photos. 

For all donations, our team will send a personalized thank you to those who give, thanking them for honoring the life and legacy of your loved one.

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.
