Philanthropy is looking inside yourself and seeing there are people out there who don't have the advantages you have, who could maybe use your help. It is the way in which people recognize their connection to each other.
HOW YOU CAN HELP 

The Children's Initiative is completely dependent on the contributions of private individuals such as you.

You can contribute to The Children's Initiative with the knowledge and confidence that all of the funds go directly to helping children. Everyone working for TCI in the United States does so on a 100% volunteer basis. Contributions by the co-founders cover all administrative and travel expenses, underwrites the costs of anyone working for us in-country, and further supports all endeavors. Thus your donation goes directly to aid children. We are dedicated to ensuring that funds are well spent, and that all services, products, or programs are delivered to those who need them. We demand accountability at all levels.

We are incorporated as a non profit 501(c)3 organization, and all contributions to TCI will qualify as charitable donations for tax purposes. 

We profoundly appreciate every contribution to The Children's Initiative, and we thank you for making life better for children

Support can come in many forms. In addition to direct financial support, we have been designated to receive the proceeds from sales of donor's personal possessions, the sale of baskets imported from Catdang, and the very generous contributions of goods and services at no charge. In addition, you can:

• Sponsor a Child
• Include TCI in your company's giving program.
• Spread the good word about TCI and get others interested in our Mission.
• Provide goods and services at little or no charge.
• Volunteer your time.
• Include TCI in your will.
• Purchase Baskets and Lacquerware from The Catdang Basket Project.
