Invest in Expanding God's Kingdom
You can help us shine light and expand our ministry into new communities by welcoming more children into the Compassion program.
How We're Helping Over 2 Million Children
We believe children living in poverty should experience the fullness of life Jesus promised them (John 10:10). But to make this possible, we must restore the health, hope and opportunity that poverty has stolen from them.
Through child sponsorship, Compassion equips over 8,000 local churches in 29 countries to know, love and protect vulnerable children living in their communities. Together, we share the love of Jesus with each child and provide for their right-now and long-term needs.
We care for children by:
Fight Child Poverty: Give Right-Now Care & Eternal Hope
Nutritious food. Medical care. Protection from harm. Hope. These are just some of the critical, right-now needs of children living in poverty. Help us fight child poverty by meeting these needs and sharing the lasting hope of the gospel.

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
Implementing our program today
Inviting the next child (and their supporter) into the program
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.
