Hi Sue, the current giving page for the India COVID-19 crisis goes to providing supplies like masks, sanitizer, nutritious food and more for our partner organizations in India.

Hi Marty, you can choose to sponsor a child in a specific country, or born on a certain date that is meaningful to you! Gifts will be used to help a child attend school, receive medical care and more. If you would like to learn more about our sponsorship programs, please reach out to us by emailing sponsorship@holtinternational.org! We’re happy to answer any questions you may have.

Hi Elaine,

In most countries, yes! Please call our sponsorship team at 541-687-2202 to begin this process. When you give a gift, we have minimum amounts to ensure the impact of the gift — in addition to the regular support you provide — is large enough considering the staff time that it takes to coordinate these gifts. Your child’s advocate will visit your sponsored child’s home to ask the family and assess what might be most beneficial to the child and family and then we will communicate those needs to you. You can also make requests about what you would like to purchase. We’d love to help you with this process!

Hi Gary, about 70-75% of your donation goes directly to programs that help your sponsored child. The variation is due to different types of payment methods from sponsors. If you are on automatic credit card or bank account giving, it’s much less expensive for us to process your gifts and more of your donation goes to your sponsored child.

Thank you so much for your generosity and continued support of your sponsored child! Please call us if you have questions about how your gift is being used to help your sponsored child and his or her family. You can reach us at 541-687-2202.
