The Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) has a long history of partnering with US-based non-profit organisations to support work outside the US that improves the lives of the most vulnerable children. We remain deeply committed to this mission and to ensuring our efforts continue to drive impact effectively.

In all regions in which we operate, we work to ensure that we are fully compliant with all rules and regulations.

Unfortunately, we are no longer confident in our understanding of the US policy environment for foreign funders of US NGOs, including for international work, which is our focus.

Consequently, CIFF’s Board have decided that, as a precautionary measure, and until applicable laws and rules, and the execution of them, are made clearer by relevant authorities, CIFF should redirect its funding to, and restructure its contracts to be with, non-US NGOs.*

We are as committed as ever to our charitable objectives, and we are continuing to scale our work in the regions where we operate.

*Multilateral institutions headquartered in the US will not be affected.
