Review for ChildFund International, Richmond, VA, USA
I have been a CCF Sponsor for many years. Each year on my sponsored child's birthday I send a $100 cash gift. For this service I was charged $2.50 over and above the amount of the gift to the child. This year I find that CCF is taking 20% of the money($20.00), intended for the child and his family, for this service.
When I originally became involved with CCF it was my understanding that my monthly contribution went directly to provide services for my sponsored child, but now in rereading their mission statement I find that they say that they combine the monthly contributions to help people in the area where my sponsored child lives.
Recently, I received a telephone call from a Childfund Fundraiser trying to get me to agree over the phone to sponsor more children.
The more that I hear the more this is starting to sound like an organization that thinks they know best what to do with my money.
Kind of reminds me of the government.
