Accelerate Impact With Your Philanthropic Giving
There are millions of children living in poverty in the countries we serve. Your philanthropic and strategic giving can go beyond sponsorship and equip our local church partners to reach the next million children.
Will You Join Us?
“Every day, we have to say not yet to churches wanting to partner with us to serve precious children living in poverty in their communities. These children desperately need the hope provided through our proven Christ-centered, church-driven, holistic child development model. We believe God is calling us to join him in reaching and releasing more of these children from poverty in Jesus’ name. And we are humbly asking you to consider how you might partner with us through philanthropic giving to accelerate this sacred work.”
- Jimmy Mellado, Compassion President & CEO
We Can Do More Together
Millions of children are waiting for hope, yet our reach is limited by resources. Today, we can only serve a fraction of those in need. But where we do serve, lives are being transformed.
Compassion’s program works. And together, we can expand our impact to bring lasting change to more children, families, and communities.
Breaking the Cycle of Poverty, One Child at a Time
Poverty can feel overwhelming, but change happens when we invest in children. Compassion’s programs provide spiritual, educational and physical support, equipping children to break free from poverty and thrive in their God-given potential.
All Children in Poverty Thriving Toward Their God-Given Potential
Every child we reach has unique needs and dreams. Our child and youth development program, facilitated through a network of over 8,800 local churches, helps these children see beyond poverty and know that God has a plan for them.
Through philanthropic gifts that go beyond the sponsorship of these children, donors like you ensure that a growing number of churches are equipped to grow and provide more impactful ministry.
Why Children?
God commands us to protect, teach and love children. By his design, if we seek to advance his kingdom, make disciples and grow the Church, then no work is more important than the discipleship of children.
If we hope to overcome poverty, it will be the children’s health, education, faith and diligence that pave the path forward.

"A Committed Partnership We Feel So Blessed to Be a Part Of"
“Our goal is to only support highly effective ministries, and Compassion is one of the very few. When we started giving decades ago, we had no idea how blessed we would be from the ministry and from the relationships that have developed because of our involvement. We see Compassion as a package deal — it's a committed partnership we feel so blessed to be a part of. The need is huge, so we are invested in a big way to help break the cycle of poverty.”
— Mike and Julie, Compassion Donors
Your Contributions Are Stewarded Wisely
