Sponsorship embodies the Christmas spirit of giving…and what better gift is there than helping needy children overcome the obstacles of poverty? Access to education, health and dental care, a nutrition program for malnourished children…these gifts and many more are just some of the ways our sponsors share the gift of compassion.
As the old year wanes and the new one approaches, now is a great time to donate. All Children International contributions provide those who need them with charitable tax deductions – while also providing more help for more children in need!
With the holidays upon us, here are several ways you can spread a little extra cheer this season:
| 1 |
This one doesn’t cost a thing: Create your very own Lift One Project webpage.
The idea is simple...and simply powerful. The Lift One Project makes it easy to upload photos and tell the story of Children International and your sponsored
child. Then simply upload your email contacts and send messages to your friends, family and coworkers. Your efforts can help lift one more child out of poverty. Setup is quick, easy, fun and free. Follow the Lift One Project link in My Account. |

Shop at the new Children International Online Store. Order Children International products online and help spread the word about sponsorship by getting our name and logo out there! The products you’ve been asking for are now available. Choose from T-shirts, photo frames, coffee mugs, caps, pens and much more. They make great gifts for others or yourself…either way, you will be helping raise awareness about Children International and the assistance you make possible! |

Provide a gift sponsorship to a family member, a friend or a coworker. Gift sponsorships in someone else’s name are presents that keep on giving throughout the entire year! You’ll not only be helping a needy child receive the help he or she
so desperately needs, you will also open someone’s heart to the joys of being a sponsor. Just give us a call at 1-800-888-3089, and we’ll be happy to assist you
with providing a gift sponsorship to a loved one. |

Similar to providing a gift sponsorship, you can log in to My Account and provide
a donation-in-name to Children International. This one-time donation includes a letter of acknowledgement that we will send to the person whose name you provide. |

In lieu of presents, ask your friends and family to help you provide a Special
Needs gift for your sponsored child. Please call a Sponsor Services representative at 1-800-888-3089, and we will help determine what your sponsored child or their family needs the most, and how much it will cost. Or, log in to
My Account and send a Special Needs gift now! |

Visit our online Gift Catalog, where you can fund a project that benefits needy families, schools or entire communities. You can choose from a variety of meaningful gifts like home improvements, beds, stoves, community water projects and much more. |

Create a link to www.children.org from your own blog, website or even as
part of a signature in your email. As you share the holiday spirit in your electronic mailings – whether in a blog posting, a personal website, invitations to parties, or just in your correspondence – you’ll be helping spread the cheer of sponsorship. |
