Sponsorships

How Sponsorship Works

Liceo Nueva Vida is a Christian school serving children on the outskirts of Bogotá, operated by our partner, Fundación Karis. Student sponsorships and teacher sponsorships support the same work: keeping the school open, its classrooms staffed, and its tuition within reach of the families it serves.

Sponsorship gifts are pooled with other sponsorship gifts and applied to the school's operating costs, including teaching staff. Your sponsorship is not a payment to or for any individual teacher or student; it is not compensation payable to any teacher, and it is not held in a separate account for any teacher or student. Your gift is made to Impact Initiatives, which retains full discretion and control over how the funds are used.

We make every effort to apply your gift to the school. If the school's needs change, or if the program is fully funded or discontinued, our Board of Directors may apply your gift to another program serving the same general charitable purpose.

If the teacher or student you sponsor is no longer at the school, we will let you know and offer to connect you with another. Your gifts remain with the program and continue to support the school's operations.

Up to 12% of each gift is applied to the cost of administering our programs and operating the organization. Payment processing fees are separate from this 12%. You may choose to cover those fees when you give; if you do not, they are deducted from your gift. See How Your Gifts Are Used.
