FAQs

• What are Gifts of Compassion?

  Gifts of Compassion empower children, families and communities to rise from poverty by meeting their urgent needs. For every Gift of Compassion you order, you will receive a card describing the impact you’re making.

  Funds raised from the Gifts of Compassion catalogue are used to support Compassion's Critical Needs, which remove obstacles to children's development and implement preventative action. These interventions include providing safe water, disaster relief, emergency medical care, vocational training, infrastructure and much more—all issues that need to be addressed for a child to be released from poverty.

  You can:

  • Give a Gift of Compassion
  • Contact us to request more copies of the Gifts of Compassion catalogue to distribute at your church or workplace
• What do I receive when I order Gifts of Compassion?

  For every Gift of Compassion you order, you will receive a beautiful gift card describing the impact you’re making. The amount you have donated will not be printed on the card.

  Real goods and services represented by the Gift of Compassion item you order will be given to children and families supported by Compassion around the world. However, please note that good development work means responding to the changing needs of children and families around the world. If, at the time of giving, there isn’t a need for your chosen gift, the funds will go towards a comparable, more urgent initiative.

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

  The gifts featured in Gifts of Compassion represent initiatives Compassion carries out to address the needs of children 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.

• 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 raised through 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.
