Global Fund for Children

The Global Fund for Children (GFC) envisions a world where children grow up to be productive, caring citizens of our global society. GFC's mission is to advance the education and dignity of children and youth around the world. GFC pursues its mission in three ways. First, through its grantmaking program, GFC strengthens innovative community-based educational organizations that serve some of the world’s most vulnerable children. GFC grants - totaling nearly $2 million annually - support small, community-based programs that provide nonformal education and lifeskills training. Second, through its publishing venture, Global Fund For Children Books, GFC develops multicultural children’s books that build global community and teach children to value global diversity. Finally, GFC inspires global citizenship and philanthropy through vibrant community education and outreach efforts.
