FAQ’s
One-third of funding comes from the Life Changer program, which now numbers more than 3,000 individuals giving a monthly donation to CAP. One-third comes from the churches that CAP equips, and the remaining funds come from charitable trusts, fundraising events, and one-off gifts from supporters. CAP receives no government funding.
No, the CAP service is available to anyone regardless of race, nationality, religion, age, gender, marital status, sexual orientation or disability. This is shown as over 90% of CAP clients are not Christians. As a Christian organisation, CAP Debt Coaches may offer prayer and discuss issues of faith with clients if they are interested. However, their response in no way affects the service offered.
No, it is completely free.
No, CAP does not give money to clients to help pay their debts. Rather, CAP helps clients repay their own debts in a sustainable way, allowing them to meet their basic needs. This is achieved through an agreed-upon budget and negotiations with creditors to work out repayment terms that work for both parties and where appropriate, waivers.
