Frequently asked questions

Is my donation tax deductible?+

Yes. FOCHOR MINISTRIES AND FOUNDATION (Charity ID / EIN: 41-3382308) is a Christian faith-based 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity registered in the United States. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law, and an official tax acknowledgment receipt is issued automatically for every donation.

Where does my money actually go?+

Each gift is recorded to the fund you choose (e.g., Education, Feeding). Restricted gifts stay restricted. Our ledger traces every donation to allocation and expenditure with supporting documentation.

Can I choose which child I sponsor?+

Yes — published profiles on our sponsorship page are verified children whose cases were approved and whose publication passed safeguarding review. Your sponsorship funds the program serving that child; FOCHOR administers funds on the child's behalf.

How do you protect the children you serve?+

Child safeguarding is architectural: confidential case files are strictly separated from public profiles, photographs require documented guardian consent, and staff access to sensitive records is permission-controlled and audit-logged.

Who can refer a child?+

Anyone — pastors, teachers, relatives, neighbors, social workers or concerned individuals. No account is needed. Every referral receives a reference number and confidential review.

Can I get a refund?+

If a gift was made in error, contact us promptly. Refunds are handled per our donation policy and require authorization; see the Donation & Refund Policy pages.
