What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

According to the latest analysis from UNICEF and the World Bank, about 333 million children worldwide—roughly one in six—live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than $2.15 a day. Children remain more than twice as likely as adults to experience extreme poverty, and the youngest children face the greatest risk. Nearly 90% of these children live in Sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia, where progress has stalled due to the combined impacts of conflict, climate shocks, and economic disruptions. Compassion works to break this cycle by partnering with local churches to provide holistic child development programs that address spiritual, physical, and educational needs.

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Child & Youth Development

We equip local churches to use an evidence-based framework, enabling churches to implement proven child/youth interventions and measure effectiveness at the community level in four outcome areas. Well-Being: Physical and mental health with positive self-identity and life-giving relationships. Includes protection/safeguarding, nutrition and food security, clean water, etc. Capacity for Economic Self-Sufficiency: Motivation, skills and education to economically support self and others. Includes school attendance, literacy, participation in vocational training, etc. Growth in Christ: Growing spiritually and contributing to/engaging with the community. Includes closeness to Jesus and family, access to Christlike friends and role models, time in prayer and Scripture, service of others, etc. Youth Agency: Having vision, skills and character to positively influence their context. Includes forming a vision for personal growth and development, and contributing to community and God’s kingdom.

Child Survival Program

Every baby deserves a chance to flourish. The sad reality, however, is that too many are not receiving the care they need. Compassion’s Child Survival Program helps ensure that every child has an opportunity to thrive. The survival component of our program addresses the most vulnerable period of a child’s life — prenatal through age 1 — by providing critical health and nutritional support to mothers and babies. This program represents the foundational stage of our holistic development model. It recognizes that physical survival and early health interventions are prerequisites for achieving long-term outcomes in later stages of development.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Our goal is to see children thrive and become fulfilled adults, contributing to their communities.
A guiding principle has fueled the work of Compassion for more than 70 years: Transformative impact comes from strong partnership.

Compassion’s mission is accomplished through a holistic approach to child development and discipleship — a complex journey that can begin in the womb and end as late as age 22. On our own, it would be impossible to address the physical, cognitive, social, emotional and spiritual needs of 2.4 million children across all stages of development and cultures. Quite simply, no single organization has the depth of resources and expertise needed to do all that this mission requires.

That’s why we are so immensely grateful for the many partners — supporters, frontline church staff, like-minded organizations and more — walking this path with us. Only with our partners by our side can we traverse the vast challenges of a poverty context: food insecurity, endemic health issues, poor education, daily trauma and local conflicts, just to name a few.

Every flourishing partnership involves separate entities or individuals with unique gifts and abilities coming together to accomplish something that we can do better together. We celebrate the life transformation taking place through our collaborative efforts!

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Our core strategy is to join God in the holistic development of children and youth in poverty by serving our stakeholders’ callings to unleash their connected potential to transform lives. We do so through our core values of integrity, discernment, dignity, stewardship, and excellence. Our FY25 strategic goals were 1) Advance evidence-based outcomes with more children and youth more quickly. 2) Delight new and existing supporters to scale our revenue base more quickly. 3) Accelerate our global revenue with philanthropic supporters. 4) Achieve ministry sustainability and scale through empowering and engaging a thriving workforce, improving processes and optimizing technology.

How we listen

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

We shared information about our current feedback practices.

How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?

To identify and remedy poor client service experiences, To identify bright spots and enhance positive service experiences, To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve, To understand people’s needs and how we can help them achieve their goals, To inform the development of new programs/projects,
Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?

We take steps to get feedback from marginalized or under-represented people, We take steps to ensure people feel comfortable being honest with us, We look for patterns in feedback based on demographics (e.g., race, age, gender, etc.), We look for patterns in feedback based on people’s interactions with us (e.g., site, frequency of service, etc.), We engage the people who provide feedback in looking for ways we can improve in response, We act on the feedback we receive, We share the feedback we received with the people we serve, We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible,
What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

It is difficult to get the people we serve to respond to requests for feedback,

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
