For a monthly sponsorship, you will see a monthly charge against the credit card you use to make the initial gift. This transaction will happen automatically and you do not need to remember to renew each month. Annual sponsorships are the same, but your credit card will be charged once per year on the anniversary date of your sponsorship. You can cancel at any time.

The cost of sponsorship increases yearly to account for inflation and other cost-of-living changes. However, we honor the sponsorship cost as of the date you signed up, as long as your sponsorship continues uninterrupted. Of course, if you are able and willing to increase your gift to cover these expenses, we are truly grateful.

Sponsors are provided with individualized updates on one Shanti Bhavan child for the duration of their sponsorship. Sponsors receive four updates each year, in addition to an initial introductory update sent at the start of a sponsorship. These updates might include photos, videos, letters, or drawings from the children, and more! These updates help you keep up with how your sponsored student is learning and growing.
