Since 1985, LDS Charities has provided $1.89 billion in assistance in 189 countries.

Donations of all sizes come from individuals and organizations all over the world. One hundred percent of the funds donated to LDS Charities go to humanitarian projects and programs throughout the world wherever needs exist.
