United Children’s Fund, Inc. has teamed up with Socialvest, a cause-based shopping platform to give you an opportunity to earn money for UCF every-time you shop online. Anytime you shop at one of 100′s of participating retailers including Amazon, Target, Gap, Best Buy, Nordstrom and more a percentage of your total purchase will be donated to United Children’s Fund, at no cost to you!

We know you want to support us but time and money are two of the biggest challenges we all face. Our goal is to find easy ways for you to make a contribution just by doing something you already do – shop!

Before submitting the completed form, make sure to designate the portion of your earnings to be directed to UCF.

Sponsor a Child out of Darkness into Light

Your sponsorship will ensure your child has a safe home, clean water, meals, educational opportunities and medical care. You will make a world of difference in the life of a child who has nothing. Many of these needy children are orphans with no one to care for them.

Your sponsorship will bring a child today from a dark world of hunger, oppression, and disease into a world of light and hope for the future. With your support they will be given hope and a chance for a good life.

Your sponsorship will have an everlasting impact in the life of a child and the community. You will receive a picture and history of your child, plus regular school progress reports.

Your child is waiting for your call today.

Please call US or Canada 1-604-609-6181 and give your child a life of hope.
