FAQ
There are currently about 320 sponsored children in our program.
Since the Child Sponsorship program was established in 1999, it has primarily been administered by dedicated volunteers who give their time in a variety of areas, including clerical and administration, communications, fundraising and information technology.
A sponsor provides financial support (a minimum of $73 CAD per month, which includes a $3 payment processing fee) to enable a Palestinian child to access food, clothing, shelter, education, and medical assistance.
Your sponsorship donations and extra monetary gifts (i.e., for birthdays, Ramadan, Eid, Christmas, etc.) primarily support your sponsored child. A small 5% administrative fee is applied to help cover essential operational costs, mainly staffing to grow the program, administrative and online services, and international transfer fees.
This small contribution ensures that the program can continue to operate sustainably while maintaining direct support to children and families in need.
We require a minimum of one year, but most sponsors continue helping their child until they reach the age of 18. If sponsoring a child isn’t right for you, there is also an option available to make a general donation to the Child Sponsorship Program on the donation page.
The Canadian Palestinian Foundation of Quebec (CPFQ), a registered charity in good standing with the Government of Canada “BN/Registration Number: 127472926RR0001” issues receipts for sponsors and donors to the Child Sponsorship Program at the end of each tax year.
Receipts are mailed no later than the end of February of the year following your donations.
Correspondence is translated by the CPFQ Child Sponsorship Program. You will receive your child’s original message as well as the translated copy in French or English.
No, we are not faith-based and our program serves all Palestinian children, regardless of religion.
Under the donation page, select the option to sponsor a child. After that, select the number of children you would like to sponsor, where you would like to sponsor a child (Gaza or the West Bank), and you can get started with the process of sponsoring a child.
You may make donations via MasterCard, Visa, preauthorized banking, cash or cheque.
No, you do not need to reside in Canada (Canadian residents qualify to receive charitable receipts). Many of our sponsors reside in the United States, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
