Chalice works in impoverished communities to help struggling families overcome the cycle of poverty. Education is the first and most important step in breaking the cycle. Too often, children must skip class or drop out of school to carry water, care for siblings, or earn money for their families.

Sponsorship gives children the support needed to overcome obstacles so they can attend and stay in school, and allows families to provide nutritious food and better care for their children. Children are selected for sponsorship based on need and family circumstances, regardless of race, age, ability, gender, or religion. Education gives every child the opportunity to shine.

When can I send special money?
Any time! Something you can consider: if you pay sponsorship fees via credit card or automatic withdrawal, you can contact us and arrange for scheduled gifts of special money to go automatically. For example, if you wanted to send a certain amount to your child for Christmas each year, we could make it an automatic payment, and you don’t have to worry about forgetting! Your child/elder’s birthday is on the Annual Sponsorship Update you receive every year. If you cannot find it, just contact us!

How do I send special money?
Click here to donate online. You can also use all our other ways to donate.

How much should I send?
There is no amount that is “too small.” The children and their families will deeply appreciate your thoughtfulness.

I want my child to receive a specific gift through my donation (e.g., a bicycle) - how do I do that?
We cannot place restrictions on how your child and their family uses their special money. We must allow them the dignity to choose to purchase, or save, as is best for their present needs.  However, with close communication and coordination with our local site staff and your child’s family, we can explore the possibility of larger purchases. The site staff can help us determine whether your child would benefit from the gift you have in mind, whether the item would be easily available, and a price point. If you would like to do this, please contact us.

How much of my gift will the child/elder receive?
100% of special money donations go to the child/elder. Chalice does not deduct any amount for administration.

Do I get a tax receipt for gifts of special money?
Yes! You can receive a tax receipt automatically via email, and it will appear on your annual Chalice tax receipt, too.
