The Global Fund for Children

Overview

The Global Fund for Children’s mission is to advance the dignity of children and youth around the world. GFC pursues its mission by making small grants to innovative community-based organizations working with some of the world’s most vulnerable children and youth, complemented by a dynamic media program that, through books, documentary photography, and film, highlights the issues affecting children and celebrates the global society in which we all live.

Global Fund for Children actively partners to find solutions to today’s most pressing challenges, working to secure the well-being of all children and youth. They are growing a global network of change agents who advocate for children’s rights and ensure that children have what they need to thrive. They invest in early-stage organizations and help them become strong, sustainable engines of social change. Since 1997, Global Fund for Children has invested in 675 grassroots organizations, strengthening thousands of communities and improving the lives of more than 10 million children and youth worldwide.
