Together, we can create a world where all children flourish by…

Strengthening health and nutrition

Supporting opportunity and choice for women and girls

Catalysing climate action

We work towards a world where children are healthy, safe and have opportunities. A world that’s prosperous and secure for everyone.

As an independent global philanthropy, we work with partners – from governments and multilaterals to NGOs, academics and the private sector – to invest in and scale solutions that drive impact. Together we create locally owned, large-scale change aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Our global opportunities

Children grow up quickly, so every day matters. That is why we structure our work around interlinked opportunities for progress, the stepping stones to improve the lives of all children.

If we are serious about making large-scale change for the most vulnerable children, we need to consider children’s challenges holistically. That is why CIFF doesn’t just work on what you might consider ‘traditional’ children’s issues, but takes a society-wide approach, strengthening primary health care, enabling opportunity and choice for women and girls and, of course, tackling climate change.”

CIFF works in full compliance with regulatory and legal requirements in all the countries in which it operates and maintains a rigorous due diligence process across all engagements. CIFF has no religious or political affiliations.
