FAQs

• What is Gifts of Compassion?

  Gifts of Compassion are real goods and services given to children and families in Compassion child development centres around the world. For every Gift of Compassion you order, you will receive a gift card to personalise for your friends and loved ones.

  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.

  Compassion Australia uses Gifts of Compassion funds to meet the project needs represented in the catalogue.

• 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.
