Sponsorship FAQ

We understand that personal circumstances change, and you may contact us to cancel your sponsorship at any time.
Please be assured that your child/elder will not lose their benefits. Chalice will continue to support them until they are paired with a new sponsor.

In a perfect world, either when the young person finishes their studies and enters the workforce, or their family reaches a level of income stability that they no longer need your financial support.
However, sometimes they must exit the program because they or their family moves or chooses to withdraw for personal reasons.
When your current sponsorship relationship concludes, we will contact you about your decision to sponsor another child or elder.

You can send your child/elder extra funds, of any amount, any time you wish. These are called gifts of ‘special money.’ Many sponsors like to send extra amounts around Christmas or their child’s birthday.
If you become aware of any special needs for your child or their family, please contact us. We will contact the site on your behalf to get more information on how you can best help.

You will receive correspondence from your child every year at Christmastime. This will include a new photo, a letter from your sponsor child and a status report from a Field Worker. You will also receive a Christmas card along with a sponsor site update from the Site Director.
If you need to change your mailing address or anything else about your personal information, just contact us.
You can write to your child at any time. We highly encourage this! Your sponsored friend would love to know more about you and your family. Many sponsors build strong bonds through their letters. Learn all about how to write to your child.
We do not facilitate email correspondence or encourage social media connections. This protects both you and your friend’s safety and privacy.
You will get an official tax receipt for the full amount of your sponsorship. Income tax receipts are issued each February for donations processed in the previous year.
