It’s encouraging to read supporters are confident their donations to Children Believe make a difference in the lives of the children we serve, but we know we can always improve. So, we were interested to see feedback from the survey about how we can do our jobs even better. Here’s a sampling of what donors asked us and our responses…
I’d like to communicate through email, is that possible?
Absolutely. You can now email the child you help through sponsorship. Follow the link, and send an email today. (It’s that easy.)
The child correspondence is generic and not age-appropriate. Are there plans to update it?
We agree. Child letters and reports can be, well, generic, but there are a few reasons for that. Our top concern is child safety and protection.
The good news is we’ve started to provide new ways for children to connect with donors. For starters, we’ve updated our child letter formats with a place for kids to add interesting tidbits about their interests, and we’ve made them age-appropriate. Keep an eye on your mailbox to see this new letter format!
What happens to the child I help when sponsorship ends?
We love it that our donors care about what happens to the children they help, and what great timing for that question. Check out our latest issue of ChildVoice magazine to read success stories from children who benefited from sponsorship. (You can also find stories like these in our blogs.)
Do you have suggestions or recommendations for improvements? Don’t be shy. Email us, and we’ll be happy to learn how your ideas can help inspire future improvements.
Take care. Until next time.
