About Samaritan's Purse

Our mission is to follow the example of Jesus Christ by helping those in need and proclaiming the hope of the Gospel.

Since 1973, we’ve been reaching out to victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God’s love. Millions of lives have been changed, both physically and spiritually.

The majority of our ministry is carried out by partnering with passionate, competent churches and organizations in the countries where we work—and by partnering financially with people like you. When it comes to handling our finances with integrity, ninety per cent of every donated dollar goes directly to our mission.

Samaritan’s Purse Canada is audited annually by an independent public accounting firm, and our financial statement is available upon request. Occasionally we receive more contributions for a given project than can wisely be applied to that project. When this happens, we use these funds to meet a similar pressing need as directed by our Board.

We are a member of the Canadian Centre for Christian Charities
