Ways to Give

The work of Kids Alive is only possible when people are touched by the needs of at-risk children overseas and choose to help them through this ministry... people like you!

In a very real way, Kids Alive works for our supporters – we take your generous donations very seriously. We see your investment as an obligation to use your donated money wisely, and to faithfully care for the needs of children as we have promised.

There are several ways to give:

Sponsor a Child. A KidLife Sponsor provides ongoing financial and prayer support to help care for one specific child at a Kids Alive residential home or community care center. Our KidLife Sponsorship Program is unique in that the residential-sponsored children live with Kids Alive staff and families full-time, so we have the maximum positive impact to help these children grow and develop into healthy, productive Christian adults. Our community care centers provide the children with similar care as our residential program except that they go home at the end of the day.

Sponsor a Ministry Program. Ministry Sponsors are Kids Alive supporters who provide ongoing financial and prayer support for a specific residential home, school, care center or community outreach. Ministry Sponsors receive specific information about the needs, services, and – most importantly – the children being helped because of their support for a given ministry effort.

Support a Special Ministry Need.  Kids Alive supporters join together to provide financial and prayer support to help meet a specific short-term need that is required by a group of children. These Special Needs change monthly or as the need arises.  Please sign up for our E-Newsletter to be kept apprised of the most current need.

Give a Gift. Support Partners are individuals and churches who have not elected to sponsor a specific child or ministry program, but still wish to care for needy children by praying and giving. Often these gifts are used to care for unsponsored children, or to provide the critical ministry efforts of community centers, clinics, schools or other outreach efforts.

Match your Gift.  Many employers offer matching programs for their employees. As a 501(c)(3) charity, Kids Alive International qualifies for most matching programs.  For Federal employees, we participate in the Combined Federal Campaign (call 800-543-7330 for the CFC number).

Give a Lasting Gift. Legacy Partners are caring people who elect to help care for needy children by including the ministry of Kids Alive in their wills, or who make some other planned giving arrangements to benefit the ministry and the children we serve.
