CIFF Unveils $1B Investment to Ignite Transformational Change for Children Worldwide

We are thrilled to announce that the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) has successfully raised USD 1,000,000,000 in its latest funding initiative, marking a transformational milestone in its mission to empower children across developing countries. Founded in 2002, CIFF is an independent philanthropic organization with offices in Addis Ababa, Beijing, London, Nairobi, and New Delhi, and it has dedicated itself to delivering urgent and systemic change through strategic grantmaking and innovative partnerships. The substantial funds will be channeled into initiatives that address some of the most challenging issues affecting children today—from advancing adolescent sexual and reproductive health and reducing the risks posed by HIV/AIDS, to improving the health and nutrition of mothers and children through comprehensive deworming programs. In parallel, CIFF’s vigorous child protection efforts aimed at curtailing child labor and combating sexual exploitation will receive a significant boost, reflecting the foundation’s commitment to safeguarding vulnerable communities. In addition to its work in health and protection, the funding will further enhance CIFF’s ambitious climate portfolio, which envisions a climate-safe future for children today and for generations to come, benefiting from cleaner air, improved energy security, and sustainable job creation. By emphasizing robust data collection and evidence-based approaches, CIFF strives to maximize impact at scale and share important learnings with the broader global community. This unprecedented funding milestone not only amplifies CIFF’s role as a catalytic force for social change but also reinforces its position as a gold standard in philanthropy and grantmaking.
