Mission & Focus Areas

The organization’s stated mission is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. Its program descriptions cover health and nutrition, including access to clean water, sanitation, and medical care; efforts addressing food insecurity and economic vulnerability; education; and protection from violence, exploitation, and abuse. Its website also describes health, education, protection, emergency response, and policy advocacy as areas of work.

Examples of 2024 grantees show support to different kinds of organizations. Save the Children Action Network describes itself as the organization’s political advocacy arm, working to build bipartisan support for children. Mercy Corps says its mission is to alleviate suffering, poverty, and oppression by helping people build secure, productive, and just communities. Christ’s Hands says it operates a kitchen providing daily meals and housing opportunities in Harlan County and surrounding areas. SCUS Head Start Programs says it promotes school readiness through educational, health, nutritional, social, and other services for children and families.

Grantmaking

In filing year 2024, the organization reported 293 grants totaling $68,474,260. Grant amounts ranged from $5,175 to $6,740,824, with a median of $68,934. The largest grants included $6,740,824 to Save the Children Action Network for advocacy activity; $3,910,372 to Tango International Inc for multiple program activity; $2,151,252 to Innovations for Poverty Action for multiple program activity; and $2,002,059 to Mercy Corps for multiple program activity.

The organization’s foundation partnership page says it does not provide grant funding and is not a fiscal sponsor. It describes partnership opportunities, but does not provide an application process for grant funding. Its RFP page lists requests for proposals or quotes for procurement of professional services, consulting services, and goods; these are procurement opportunities rather than grant applications.
