Ideas Beyond Borders Competitors

For nearly 90 years, ChildFund has tackled the challenges children face head-on. We are local by design, built on trust and deeply focused on children and their communities. Our approach was made for this moment: when global challenges demand solutions built with, and shaped by, the people living them. Together with nearly 150 trusted, community-rooted partners across Africa, Asia and the Americas, we reach young people with child-centered, results-oriented programs that are built to scale. What really sets us apart? Our impact doesn’t expire when the funding cycle does. Backed by nearly 240,000 individual donors and a global network committed to long-term, systems-level change, ChildFund invests resources and expertise alongside our partners to create solutions that are community-owned and made to last — because we need each other.

Save the Children is the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world. Recognized for our commitment to accountability, innovation and collaboration, our work takes us into the heart of communities, where we help children and families help themselves. We work with other organizations, governments, non-profits and a variety of local partners while maintaining our own independence without political agenda or religious orientation. When disaster strikes around the world, Save the Children is there to save lives with food, medical care and education and remains to help communities rebuild through long-term recovery programs. As quickly and as effectively as Save the Children responds to tsunamis and civil conflict, it works to resolve the ongoing struggles children face every day — poverty, hunger, illiteracy and disease — and replaces them with hope for the future.

Founded in 2000 on the belief that World Change Starts with Educated Children®, Room to Read is creating a world free from illiteracy and gender inequality.
