ChildFund International is inspired and driven by the potential that is inherent in all children; the potential not only to survive but to thrive, to become leaders who bring positive change for those around them. We’ve been helping children in need and fighting child poverty since 1938. The heart of ChildFund International is the one-to-one connection made when you sponsor a child. We work in 31 countries and currently assist approximately 17.8 million children and their family members. Our distinctive approach focuses on working with children, regardless of race, creed or gender, throughout their journey from birth to young adulthood, as well as with families, local organizations and communities globally to create the environments children need to thrive. Over our 70-plus year history, ChildFund International has spent nearly $3 billion in services to children and their family members. ChildFund devotes 82% of its total expenditures to programs for children and 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 and continue to earn high ratings from the Charities Review Council and the American Institute of Philanthropy.
