The MORE Project Introduces Sponsor a Child

Sponsor a Child Purpose

THE MORE Project designed the Sponsor a Child program to create a personal connection between our donors and our Brazilian participants. We hope this program encourages the development of meaningful relationships and establishes a long-term committed group of donors banding together to fight the devastating effects of poverty in Brazil.

Sponsor a Child Benefits

With your sponsorship you have the opportunity to change the life of a child through your on-going support. As a sponsor you will receive:

• A Welcome packet
• Child’s Photographs
• Child’s biography sheet which includes information on their family
• Program information
• Mailing Labels
• Sample Letter Template
• 2 letters from the child each year
• The opportunity to write to the child
• The opportunity to visit the child in Brazil
• The opportunity to provide gifts at Christmas and on the child’s birthday

How Much Does it Cost to Sponsor a Child?

The MORE Project wants to offer sponsorships at a reasonable price so that many of our distributors and supporters will have the opportunity to develop relationships with our wonderful children and young adults. While the entry donation to sponsor a child is $35/month, the actual average cost of supporting a child or teenager in our program is $245/month or seven (7) sponsorships. Donors have the option of participating at any level of sponsorship from 1 through the full 7 sponsorship shares per child with each level increasing in $35 dollar increments.

Is my Gift Tax Deductible?

Yes, gifts to the sponsorship program are fully tax-deductible for U.S. Citizens, and will be shortly for Canadian Citizens. The MORE Project is a registered charity with the IRS and has been granted 501(c)3 status. Please consult with your tax professional for details. Our Federal ID number is #203770594. For Non-U.S. citizens, we are working on making donations tax-deductible in other countries. If you have any questions, please contact us at (801) 208-1239 or sponsorachild@themoreproject.org.

Changes in Sponsorship if your Sponsored Friend Leaves the Program

There are times when children and families move or choose not to participate in our program. This circumstance is a difficult and trying part of sponsorship. When this situation occurs, sponsors are notified. Hopefully the project is able to provide information as to why your sponsored friend is no longer part of the program. When notified, you will be invited to sponsor another child in need of your support. There is no obligation on your part. Sometimes sponsors need an opportunity to deal with their loss before becoming a sponsor again. THE MORE PROJECT completely respects your decision.

If You Leave the Sponsorship Program

By participating in the Sponsor a Child program, you are making a financial and personal commitment to a vulnerable child or teenager. This relationship is very important. Please accept your commitment thoughtfully. In the least, we ask that you complete your initial 1-2 year commitment without
