To maintain all its programs, the Pastoral da Criança receives national and international support, both from entities linked to the Church and from governmental and non-governmental institutions. Among the several organizations that offer technical and financial support to the actions of Pastoral in health, nutrition, education and citizenship matters, the Brazilian Ministry of Health has provided at least 70% of the total financial costs of Pastoral da Criança, since 1987. The largest non-governmental supporter of the Pastoral da Criança is "Criança Esperança", a program produced by Globo Television Network (Rede Globo de Televisão) in association with UNICEF, which transfer part of the sponsored resources to the Pastoral programs.

          Pastoral da Criança also gets technical and financial support from ANAPAC the National Association of Friends to the Pastoral da Criança (Associação Nacional dos Amigos da Pastoral da Criança) which gathers corporations and professionals from different areas and starts agreements with cities and local corporations.
