Friends of Children is dedicated to serving children in need.

About Our Work

We are proud to promise that every dollar we receive directly benefits children in need. We can make this promise for two reasons:

We identify and support well-run and cost-effective programs that year after year demonstrate a remarkable record of success.

The few administrative costs we incur are underwritten by grants we seek out from private foundations.

Our professional, all-volunteer staff has more than four decades of experience in evaluating and assisting charitable organizations around the world.

We work to ensure that 100% of donations received are used where they will have the greatest impact in improving children's lives.

Since 1973, Friends of Children, Inc, a registered non-profit, has helped thousands of children in serious need in the U.S. and around the world. Our program and partners have delivered relief to children suffering from poverty, homelessness and hunger.

Your donation today will help us reach even more children. We are deeply grateful for your support.


We are proud to promise that you can donate with confidence knowing that many children will directly benefit from your kindness.
