První z nich obsahuje rozbor struktury dárců podle základních socio-demografických charakteristik. Druhá část se věnuje spokojenosti dárců s projektem včetně spokojenosti s jeho dílčími oblastmi. Účinnost různých způsobů propagace projektu je zkoumána v třetím okruhu. Poslední část se věnuje postojům dárců k různým aktuálním tématům týkajících se projektu, které jsou v souvislosti s projektem sponzorování dětí celosvětově diskutovány a problematizovány: jde především o postoje dárců ke korespondenci s podporovaným dítětem a k využívání prostředků na podporu rozvoje komunit (rodin, vesnic, škol) namísto podpory jedinců.
