Your sponsorship gives your child access to the basics they need to thrive. But there are times when we all want to go beyond “the basics”—when we want to take an additional opportunity to bless our child and provide for special needs that they or their family have. Our optional monetary gifts give you the opportunity to do exactly that.

What kinds of monetary gifts can I give?

We have a number of optional monetary gifts that you can send to your sponsored child:

Birthday gift

Give the child you sponsor a special age-appropriate birthday gift chosen by their family and centre staff. A gift of $15-$150 CAD can be given once per year.

Child gift

Give the child you sponsor a gift “just because”, used to meet specific needs identified by their family and centre staff. A gift of $15-$150 CAD can be given once per year.

Family gift

Give a gift to the family of the child you sponsor, used to meet the specific needs of the whole family, including their siblings. A gift of $40-$1,200 CAD can be given up to two times per year (gift limit is cumulative).

Child development centre gift

Give a gift to the Compassion centre where the child you sponsor attends, used to provide a greater experience for all the children the centre serves. A gift of $150-$10,000 CAD can be given up to two times a year (gift limit is cumulative).

Final graduation gift

Give a one-time graduation gift to the child you sponsor to show them how proud you are of them and their accomplishments. A gift of $50-$2,500 can be given at the time the child you sponsor exits the program.

Christmas gift fund

Give a gift to ensure the child you sponsor and every child in Compassion’s program receives a gift this Christmas. We recommend a gift of $25 per sponsored child. Click here to learn more about the Christmas Gift Fund.
