Child Sponsorship

Sponsorship is one of the most powerful ways you can make a difference. When you sponsor a child for $39 a month, you help fund programs in that child's community, supporting them to grow up healthy, educated and safe, like every kid should.

Sponsorship

How It Works

Start the Journey

You choose a special child to sponsor and support them as they grow. With ChildFund's nearly 90-years of experience in child and youth development, you can feel confident knowing we’re an organization you can trust.

Multiply Your Impact

We combine your tax-deductible donation with gifts from other caring sponsors to make life better where your sponsored child lives. You can also send direct monetary donations as a gift to your sponsored child, like birthday and holiday gift donations.

Make a Difference

It’s like having a pen pal in another part of the world — all while you support a child and their dreams! Through letters and photos, you get to personally know and encourage your sponsored child and their family.

My mother died when I was one year old. My sponsor has really, really made me who I am. She played a very vital role. Right now, I am chasing my dreams, all thanks to my sponsor.
