FAQs

• Can I send my sponsored child Gifts of Compassion™?

  No. GIFTSOFCOMPASSION™ are different to the gifts you can send your sponsored child. Funds raised through GIFTSOFCOMPASSION™ 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 in My Account. One hundred per cent of these gifts will directly benefit your sponsored child and their family.

• How will 2024’s Gifts of Compassion™ be different from previous years?

  This year there will be minimal changes to GIFTSOFCOMPASSION™, but you might notice we have made changes to the GIFTSOFCOMPASSION™ Catalogue. The new format is landscape so that it’s easier to browse and so it can easily fit inside a DL envelope to reduce printing costs. We have also presented the products in broader categories, rather than listing one gift per page.

  The goal of these changes is to present the content in a more cost-effective, concise and visually appealing manner so we can maximise our impact as an organisation for the children we serve.

• What do I receive when I order Gifts of Compassion™?

  For every GIFTSOFCOMPASSION™ 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 GIFTSOFCOMPASSION™ 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 Gifts of Compassion™ gifts really cost what I am paying for them?

  The gifts featured in GIFTSOFCOMPASSION™ 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.
