Child Sponsorship Fund Management (Financial Policy)

At Grace and Hope we believe in using God’s dollars wisely. We account for every dollar spent. We use a web-based accounting system designed for non-profit entities. One motivator for starting GHC was the desire to see more money reach children in need. Given this desire, we take fiscal management very seriously.

Our board of directors are volunteers. No sponsorship funds are used to pay these key people. Administrative funds are used to pay staff dedicated to oversight and management of specific orphanages.

At this time, we are not doing sponsorship of individual children. We are asking for donations for our programs for the children of Ukraine or the children of Africa. Additionally, you can donate to the Administration fund.

Administration costs are kept to a minimum. The administration fund covers all costs associated with the administration and development of job training and other care programs for the children of that country. This includes 1 staff person, local travel, telephone, Internet costs, training material, computer use, office supplies, insurance if needed, and others as defined by the Board of Directors. The administration funds are not specific to an orphanage but are used to provide oversight to all of the programs as a whole.

Grace & Hope For Children encourages responsible giving. We accept the use of credit and debit cards as a donation tool, however, it is not our desire for you to incur ongoing debt to provide a gift of giving. We will do our best to accommodate a refund if it becomes necessary. However, sponsorship dollars are paying for the care which has already been provided, not prior to receipt.  If you have questions regarding your gift, or need to discuss your donations, please contact us at info@grace-hope.org.
