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.

Your Support Protects Children Like Israel

Israel, a 7-year-old boy from Rwanda, often suffered from malaria and its life-altering symptoms. Israel’s mother often feared for his life.  

After receiving a mosquito net and training on malaria prevention, everything changed. Israel stopped getting sick! He also receives health screenings every few months to ensure he stays happy and healthy.
