Global Fund for Children (GFC) set out to assess its impact on partner organisations and the children and communities they serve worldwide. Representing perspectives from 49 grantees from 27 countries, the Global Impact Study used rigorous participatory methodologies to answer questions including:

  • Is trust-based philanthropy worth the effort?

  • Is flexible funding as important as we think?

  • Is combining funding with tailored non-financial support really that impactful?

The Study found that through the flexible funding, non-financial support, and trusting relationship that GFC provides partner organizations, GFC contributes to partners’ growth and sustainability. This strengthened capacity enables partners to create meaningful change in their communities, ranging from quality education, increased local leadership, improved community wellbeing, reduced violence (especially against women and girls), and more.
