Global Fund for Children is an organization that invests in community-based organizations around the world to help children and youth reach their full potential and advance their rights. I will be using this organization to broaden my knowledge on issues and threads in the childhood field. I chose this organization because their mission is to advance the dignity of children and youth around the world. GFC pursues its mission by making small grants to innovative community-based organizations working with some of the world's most vulnerable children and youth, complemented by a dynamic media program that, through books, documentary photography, and film, highlights the issues affecting children and celebrates the global society in which we all live.

Global Fund for Children identifies local organizations that are working with children and their families and fund their life-changing programs along with their organizational development, and build movements of social change.

Global Fund for Children advances the rights of children across. four focus areas and five regions. They are committed to working with, and encouraging organizations that support young people facing poverty, injustice, and discrimination.
