FAQs

• Do the Gifts of Compassion gifts really cost what I am paying for them?

  The gifts featured in the Gifts of Compassion represent initiatives Compassion carries out to address the needs of children that require support beyond sponsorship. As each country and community in the developing world has its own unique challenges to address, what these initiatives look like and how much they cost can vary. This means your donation will be pooled with others to fund an initiative.

• Will the recipient of a Gifts of Compassion e-card receive marketing materials from Compassion?

  Providing Compassion with your gift recipient’s email address does not opt them into receiving marketing materials from Compassion.

• Can I tell you when to send the Gifts of Compassion e-card?

  Yes. You can choose to send the email immediately or select the date and time you would like the email to be sent to the recipient.

• Can I send my sponsored child a Gift of Compassion?

  No. Gifts of Compassion are different to the gifts you can send your sponsored child. Funds from the purchase of Gifts of Compassion are pooled to support a range of Critical Needs that benefit many children and families and can't be directed to an individual child.

  However, you can choose to send a gift specifically for your sponsored child by giving a child gift, family gift and/or birthday gift. One hundred per cent of these gifts will directly benefit your sponsored child and their family.
