We assign the highest reasonable amount of available resources to the direct benefits of sponsored friends, which is why more than 93 percent of our expenses go toward program support.

Here are some ways sponsors and supporters can help us keep our overhead low:
1) Use our Automatic Payment Plan.
Sponsorship contributions made through CFCA’s Automatic Payment Plan are safe, secure and reduce our costs.
Printing, postage costs and bank fees continue to increase and currently average 84 cents for each sponsorship payment made by check. In contrast, the cost for an automatic bank withdrawal is less than 3 cents.
Automatic payment also helps sponsors to:
- Save on postage and the time it takes to mail their contribution.
- Never miss a payment ñ their contribution is automatically processed each month.
- Reduce paperwork ñ electronic payment is environmentally friendly.
Click here if you want to sign up online. (If you haven’t already, you will need to log in to your online sponsorship account.)
Enter the amount of your monthly sponsorship payment and click “Make payment.”
A pop-up question will ask, “Would you like your sponsorship contributions paid automatically each month?”
Choose “Yes,” and your first monthly payment will be added to your contribution basket. You can adjust the amount and the frequency of your payment, if you prefer to pay on an annual, semi-annual or quarterly basis.
As you proceed through the checkout process, you will be able to choose which payment account you want to use (or add a new one). See the other six ways
