Why ChildFund?

A History of Stability and Success

We’ve been helping children in need and fighting child poverty since 1938. Over our 70-plus year history, ChildFund International has spent nearly $3 billion in services to children and their family members. Currently, we help 13.5 million children and family members in 31 countries.

Accountability and Action

ChildFund International devotes 83% of its total expenditures to programs for children. ChildFund has earned the use of the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance Seal, which signifies that ChildFund meets BBB standards of charity accountability. We have maintained an average 3 star “good” rating from Charity Navigator. We continue to earn high ratings from the Charities Review Council and the American Institute of Philanthropy.

Knowledge and Networks

From our origins as China's Children Fund, we’ve established lasting “on the ground” relationships around the world. We know and work with local community leaders and people in power to affect change for children and their communities.
