125 Maiden Lane
OverviewSince 1947, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF has supported the work of the United Nations Children's Fund by raising support for its programs and increasing public awareness of the challenges facing the world's children. As the oldest of 37 national committees for UNICEF worldwide, the U.S. Fund is part of a global effort to advance humanity with health, education, equality and protection for every child. MissionThe U.S. Fund supports child survival, protection and development worldwide through education, advocacy and fundraising. ProgramsUNICEF is unique among world organizations and unique among those working with young people. As a global movement, we use our authority to influence decision makers and diverse partners to turn the most innovative ideas into reality. In 156 countries and territories, UNICEF's field staff uses hard-won expertise to meet the challenges facing children and those who care for them. Our history has given us a profound understanding of development and the importance of child health, education, equality and protection in advancing humanity. All that we do helps children realize their full potential. In support of UNICEF's work, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF focuses on five major priorities: education, emergencies, HIV/AIDS, immunization and malnutrition. ImpactOver the years, the U.S. Fund has provided more than $1.8 billion in cash and in-kind contributions to assist UNICEF's lifesaving programs. We ensure that every donation we receive is used to the maximum benefit of the children who need help most. On average, 93 percent of UNICEF's global budget supports country programs to help children. Nearly 60 years of experience and the use of low-cost, highly effective solutions work to make dramatic improvements in children's lives. UNICEF's programs are long-term, sustainable, focused and cost-effective. FinancialChanging The Present will soon provide financial information on nonprofit organizations. |
