CBM's member associations generate the funds needed to implement the overseas programmes. Nine CBM member countries exist: Germany, the US, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, the UK, Italy, New Zealand, and Ireland, as well as a former member association in Belgium. Germany was established as a member country in 1908; the other international member associations were founded between 1975 and 2005 and belong to the umbrella organisation Christian Blind Mission International (CBMI).

Financial contributions are necessary to support CBM's partners in programme implementation and project work. CBM’s member countries not only gather donations and generate funds by contacting donors and national co-funding agencies. They also work to increase public awareness for disability issues in society and promote equal rights for people with special needs. CBM's member associations present the overseas work to their national audiences, showing how CBM's partners can effect a change for the better in the lives of persons with disabilities.

Public relations activities are just one way of assuming responsibility for the entrusted donations and funds, besides gathering even more support for CBM's work. Regular reporting to the general public and donors, as well as to co-funding agencies and independent auditors, accounts for what has been done with the financial resources entrusted to CBM.
