Child focused
Children's voices and priorities drive every program in their communities.
About ChildFund
Local by design. Powered by community. Proven by results.
Here for children since 1938.
ChildFund connects children with the people, resources and institutions they need to grow up healthy, educated, skilled and safe. With our partners in ChildFund Alliance, we scale what works across 60+ countries.
Wherever ChildFund engages, we anchor an ecosystem of change: children and youth, families, 170 local partner organizations, governments and the private sector. We convene for collective impact because no single organization, funder or program can solve the challenges children face. Local by design, the change we create together outlasts any single program or funding cycle.
Who We Are
Community centered
We fuel locally led change alongside 170 community organizations and other partners, local to global.
People first
We honor the dignity of every child and every person we work with. No exceptions.
Lives changed. Systems transformed.
What really sets us apart? Our impact doesn’t expire when the funding does. Backed by individual donors and a global network, ChildFund invests resources and expertise alongside partners to create solutions that are community owned and built to last.
How We Partner
Co-architects, not just implementers. ChildFund co-creates programs with partners, communities, children and youth. We bring community-rooted evidence, deep technical capacity and a model that layers institutional funding with sustained individual support. Explore how we create impact together.
Local partnerships as a foundation. The 170 local organizations we partner with are not charity infrastructure — they are vetted and resourced delivery capacity across 23 countries. We have invested over $100 million in their governance, financial systems, safeguarding and leadership, and 59% now secure independent funding. They’re partnerships a funder can build on. See how we fuel locally led development.
Relationships across the funding landscape. ChildFund holds institutional partnerships with bilateral agencies, private and family foundations, multilateral institutions and corporations. Partner with us.
Our History
Since 1938, we have continually evolved to meet children where they are.
