Our funding

Children are our fundraisers, thousands of individuals our supporters. We are an independent organisation and rely entirely on donations for our work. Our donors come from all walks of life, everyone helping according to their means and abilty. But what happens with the collected donations? How do the donations reach the children in need?

We are an independent organisation and rely entirely on donations for our work. The bulk of our funding comes through the Carol Singers‘ Campaign, where German children go carolling for children in need.

Many children, young people and adults continue to raise funds for Kindermissionswerk throughout the year, with collections on World Mission Day and fundraising events in their schools and parishes.

Other donations from individuals, foundations and corporations complete our annual income.
