Tweet All About It

To celebrate our new name and commitment to children, ChildFund International held a Twitter campaign in July that will lead to agriculture items from our Gifts of Love and Hope catalog to children and families. See how you helped make a difference.

Telling Our Story

As our toy exhibit “The Power to Play: from Trash to Treasure” heads to the Museum of Tolerance in L.A., we are reminded that more than a display of creative toys, this exhibit embodies the essential qualities of children; qualities that have been the foundation of our work for 70 years.

Imagine Providing for a Child Today, Tomorrow, Forever

Create a Legacy Sponsorship with ChildFund International, and you will experience the lasting gratification in knowing that a child in need will receive help beyond your lifetime.

A Legacy Sponsorship is a one-time, tax-deductible gift. Your donation is invested and treated as an endowment on behalf of your sponsored child. ChildFund uses the investment gains from the invested principal to provide the child with food, education, basic healthcare, and other crucial assistance.

There are two types of Legacy Sponsorships called Term and Perpetual. You can establish a legacy sponsorship for one or more children. We would be happy to provide you with more information about this rewarding investment in the future of children. Please call 1-800-762-9593 or click here for more information.
