It’s here! The official Compassion International browser toolbar.
And this matters to you because the toolbar will help you stay connected with your sponsored child and our ministry much more easily.
Our exceptionally groovy browser toolbar offers you quick access from your Web browser to:
- write a letter or give a gift to your child
- our blog
- all of our social media sites (e.g., OurCompassion, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and our Web banners and widgets
- our RSS feeds, including all crisis updates, news releases and Wess’ daily radio program, Speak Up With Compassion
- our online store and ways to get involved
- compassion.com and your “My Account” information
Plus, the toolbar has a search function, powered by Yahoo, which raises money for Compassion every time you use it.
So, here you go. Download the toolbar now.
sounds great! I wish I could download it… my computer has been acting goofy lately, so I don’t think this is an isolated incident.
Just downloaded it! I don’t suppose that you could make it link to the Compassion Canada website (as far as writing letters, etc.)?
OH! I am so super excited!!!
This is extremely awesome. Downloading it as I type this.
It requires a verification code to register it. I don’t know it, so can’t register it; it’s useless.

Diane,
There is no verification code needed to download or install the toolbar.
When did you get prompted for a code? I’m assuming it occurred at some other point.
I got it working! Yea!
The problem was after installing, the registration window came up, wanting the verification code with my information. I didn’t have one or know about one. The only clue was a word on the bottom line, so I typed it in, without success; it all failed. I tried using the bar without registering, and it works. But, without registering, the bar didn’t connect to my Compassion account. But, after clicking out of the toolbar and restarting my computer, I turned it back on and it came out fine. When I opened the registration section, the code came up under the last line, so I knew what to type in. It’s the set of letters and/or numbers that come up often to register other applications, to assure it’s a real person. Then, I had to verify my email. So, now it works fine and showed a donation I made.
Anyway, I’m sorry about the false start. Knowing computers like to scare me, I should have tried restarting and all first instead of getting impatient too fast.

I’m sorry, I’m a bit technically challenged at times; I downloaded the new tool bar and re-booted. It comes up at the top, but I have no home page screen now. Can anyone give me any insight as to what I may have done wrong?
Thanks,
Marci
I figured it out. Thanks!
I don’t like how it modified by search settings (Google is good, Yahoo is bad) and the FreeCause EULA allows FreeCause to track my web search history
