Sponsor a child

Checking sponsorship progress…
How progress is counted

Confirmed recurring and prepaid sponsorships. Prepaid support counts only during its funded period.

We combine active recurring sponsorships and confirmed prepaid support at $50 per child per month. Prepaid support ends when its funded period expires. Biweekly illustrations use two gifts per month; payments occur every 14 days, 26 times a year. Fee contributions, unpaid bank authorizations and cancelled or overdue plans do not count. Support is pooled.

$50/month helps support a child through SMRO’s pooled sponsorship program.

Include donations to other charities and any earlier gifts you will claim. The first $200 threshold applies to your total claim, not each gift.

Illustrative personal tax savings using basic 2026 federal and provincial rates, assuming you can use the full credits. This is not a guaranteed refund or tax advice. Income, claim limits and other circumstances can change the result. Higher-income rates, Ontario surtax benefits and special credits are not included. Quebec estimates include the federal abatement.

Recurring estimates count expected payments through December 31, 2026, assuming payments succeed and the plan stays active. Bank processing near year-end may change the receipt year. Fee contributions and sponsor matches are excluded. Only eligible amounts on official receipts can be claimed.
