In Memory of Nicole Stockton

Niki could have many words to describe her: Wife, Mother, Firefighter, Nana, Loving, Kind, Strong, Chef, and more. She loved life and she loved her family more. She was a terrific wife of over 34 years and the greatest mother of three wonderful children.

In the last years, being a grandmother of two was a complete joy, and her favorite people called her Nana. She wanted to meet the third one in August. She had faced such big hardships that would have destroyed others, but with Christ, she just became stronger. She enjoyed ATVs, fast cars, concerts, shopping, movies, and the beach. She is in Heaven and will be missed.

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.
