Giving grows here.

At ChildFund, our mission is to help children around the globe grow up healthy, educated, skilled and safe, no matter what. But we can’t do it alone. That’s where you come in.

This is the simplest way to make an immediate difference. When you give through our website or by sending a check, your generosity goes straight to where children’s needs are greatest — providing essentials like food, clean water, protection, education and hope.

If you manage a family foundation, you can partner with ChildFund to make a lasting difference for children and communities around the world.

Highlighted Donor

Susan Bush

Susan Bush, an avid traveler, devoted grandmother, and passionate quilter from Fort Collins, Colorado, has been connected to ChildFund since childhood. Inspired by her parents’ deep commitment to service, Susan grew up writing letters to her family’s sponsored child and learning that giving was a way of life. That early example blossomed into a lifelong dedication to helping children around the world. For Susan, her projects with ChildFund reflect not only her parents’ values but also her own vision of a compassionate, connected world. “The whole world is our community,” she says. “By helping others, we’re helping the whole world to advance.”
