The Global Fund for Children supports organizations and programs that focus on four specific issues:

1. Learning

2. Enterprise

3. Safety, and

4. Healthy Minds and Bodies.

Grants are awarded on an annual basis, with a typical funding relationship of three to six years.

The grants range from $5,000 to $20,000 per year, growing in size and scope over the course of the funding relationship, and may be used for general or operating support of the grantee partner organization.

GFC considers each grant an investment in the grantee organization’s mission and programs as well as its institutional growth and development.

The Global Fund for Children’s mission is to advance the dignity of children and youth around the world and pursues its mission by making small grants to innovative community based organizations working with some of the world’s most vulnerable children and youth.

The grants have served 304 community-based organizations in 65 countries and more than 1 million children have benefited from the work of The Global Fund for Children.

Deadline: Although GFC awards new grants only twice a year (in June and December), interested organizations can submit a letter of inquiry at any time during the year.
