OUR VISION
At The Global Fund for Children, we
envision a world where all children
grow up to be productive, caring
citizens of a global society.
OUR MISSION
We work to advance the dignity of children worldwide.
We pursue this mission by making small grants to
innovative community-based organizations working
with many of the world’s most vulnerable children,
and by harnessing the power of children’s books,
films, and documentary photography to promote
global understanding.

Here & now
1 million children around the world are getting what they
need to be safe, healthy, and whole.
That’s what we accomplished together this year, despite
persistent daily challenges. When the threat of cholera
returned to the slums of Port-au-Prince, GFC grantee
CHEDEVE combined cholera prevention with its
youth sports program to make sure children were
protected. In the wake of monsoon rains in Thailand,
our partner KnFSP not only maintained its education
program for refugee youth but also helped to rebuild
washed-out bridges so everyone in the refugee camps
could receive food and supplies.
Our grantees responded to unexpected challenges
like these alongside their everyday achievements,
which are nothing short of remarkable. Protecting
and nurturing children—even in the most difficult
circumstances—is their life’s work.
It is also ours. This year, we disbursed $4.3 million
in grants to 292 organizations working in 63 countries
worldwide. Thousands of children went to school for
the first time; thousands learned to protect themselves
from HIV; thousands were brought out of the depths
of trauma.
Unfortunately, the enormity of our task continues
to increase. Political turmoil, natural disasters, and
economic crises are the new norm. What’s more, we’ve
got an astounding statistic ahead of us: sometime in
the next 12 years, our world will go from 7 billion to 8
billion people. We don’t know where or when that will
happen, but there is one thing we know for sure: the
next billion people will all enter the world as children.
What do we owe them? We owe them a life better
than being a child soldier or a slave. We owe them
choices that include school rather than work, safety
rather than fear. We owe them a world where they
don’t have to worry about survival, but instead can
dream about what they want to be when they grow
up. This is the world our partners are creating—at
this moment and for years to come—fueled by your
support. We know it works. That’s what keeps us going
toward our mounting goal.
In this report, you will see how we translate your
dollars into real change in children’s lives. We will
show you how our model works and why, and the risks
and due diligence it takes not only to invest in the
developing world but to multiply that investment over
time. You’ll see that GFC and its partners are growing,
strengthening, and doubling down for the long haul.
We are good stewards of your support because we
have to be—it’s the only way we’ll meet the challenges
ahead, and we’re ready.
As this report goes to print, we are prepared to
launch a fundraising campaign with the Financial
Times, which selected The Global Fund for Children
as the featured charity for its 2012 Seasonal Appeal.
It’s an opportunity for us to share the heroism of our
grantees, to add to the ranks of supporters behind
their success, and to reach even more children in need.
In our first 18 years, we reached 8 million children—
now we’re poised to reach 10 million by 2015.
We hope that as you read this report you take
great pride in all we have accomplished together in
the last year. It’s our collective work: our grantees,
our staff, our board, our leadership councils, and the
many donors who are thanked in these pages. We are
so grateful to our community for taking us this far,
and for being galvanized by the great responsibility
that lies ahead.
All our best,

GFC Grantee Since 2007
Imagine living without even the most basic services—water, electricity, a sewer system—not to mention
schools or healthcare. This is the reality faced by migrant families, many of whom speak only Tzotzil,
living in the slums surrounding San Cristóbal. But SYJAC is helping to transform these communities from
the ground up, empowering them to solve problems, meet their own needs, and build a better life.
SYJAC uses a holistic approach, facilitating projects in housing, health, potable water, environmental
conservation, youth leadership, and education. For San Cristóbal’s youngest residents, SYJAC provides
early childhood education, paired with parenting and life skills workshops for their working mothers.
The result is not only a safe, caring place for children to learn—it’s a brighter future for the whole family.
Since receiving its first GFC grant in 2007, SYJAC has dramatically expanded its reach, from 50 children
and youth to 1,500, and last year the organization launched a leadership program for high-school
students in 67 public schools throughout the state of Chiapas.

CONNECTED
At events in Dallas, Hong Kong, Chicago, New York, and beyond, you heard
our story, met our grantees, and gave to our cause. You inspired us at the
spring gala, partying the night away and raising more than $1.5 million in
one night for vulnerable children worldwide.
grew
We added 60 new grantees operating in 28 countries around the world.
They are empowering future leaders in Congolese refugee camps, running
rehabilitation centers for children with disabilities in Kyrgyzstan, and
helping youth in Nicaragua start microenterprises. We can’t wait to share
their work with you.
graduated
Counted
Revamped
Forty grantees graduated from our funding this year, with major
accomplishments behind them and big dreams ahead. Some highlights:
over the course of our partnership, the kindergarten program at Fatayat
NU NAD (Indonesia) grew from 250 children in one district to more than
1,000 children in five districts. Chintan (India) quadrupled its budget
since receiving its first GFC grant in 2006, and this year received the US
Secretary of State’s Innovation Award for the Empowerment of Women
and Girls, which came with a $500,000 grant to get young girls out of
the waste-picking industry and into school.
We updated our research and learned that our work has reached 8 million
vulnerable children worldwide—and we’re on track to reach a total of 10
million by 2015.
Our new website (www.globalfundforchildren.org) puts the spotlight
on our partners and their courageous work. Check it out for stories
of transformation in children’s lives, virtual site visits of our grantees
so you can see their work firsthand, and blog posts from our program
officers on the road.
listened
We surveyed our grantees to find out how we’re doing. A full 91 percent
of respondents agreed that we are a true partner in their growth and
development. And 89 percent agreed that we are unlike other funders
because we do more than fund their programs—we help them to become
sustainable organizations.

Total investments
Your donations reach beyond your initial investment: part of our model is to
spread the word about our grantees so other funders will join their cause. This
year, we helped our partners secure more than $1.2 million from other sources.
You already know our grantees are everyday heroes—but now so does
everyone else. Jackson Kaguri of The Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project (Uganda),
Thulani Madondo of Kliptown Youth Program (South Africa), and Malya
Villard-Appolon of KOFAVIV (Haiti) were all named CNN Heroes. Josefa
Condori Quispe of Yanapanakusun (Peru) received the Frederick Douglass
Award for dedicating her life to helping survivors of slavery, and Leonel
Dubón of El Refugio de la Niñez (Guatemala) was recognized by the US State
Department for his work with victims of sex trafficking. Bravo!
The latest Global Fund for Children books charmed reviewers and young
readers alike. School Library Journal calls What We Wear: Dressing Up
Around the World, by Maya Ajmera, Elise Hofer Derstine, and Cynthia Pon, a
“resplendent homage to our common humanity.” Kirkus loves the picture
puzzle book I Am Different! Can You Find Me? by Manjula Padmanabhan,
declaring it “a tour de force.”

WHAT WE DO
12
Millions of children around the world are born into a
stark reality: will they work in markets and mines, or go to
school? Will they be trafficked into slavery, or be free?
Will they be child soldiers, or students? From Afghanistan
to Zambia, these are staggering choices.
At The Global Fund for Children, we envision a world
where all children have the opportunity to be safe, to learn,
and to grow up whole. We transform the lives of children
on the edges of society—trafficked children, refugees, child
laborers—and help them regain their rights and reach
their potential.
We find and invest in under-the-radar grassroots
organizations that make sure that the most vulnerable
children in their communities have what they need to
thrive. Our strategic support helps our grantees achieve
their vision, become sustainable, and reach even more
children in need.
In other words, we do all we can to let kids be kids—
no matter what their circumstances.
why grassroots?
Even in the most challenging conditions, grassroots
organizations are on the ground, reaching marginalized
children where they live, work, and play. These groups
have the entrepreneurial vision and passion to transform
their communities—we help them get there.
the global fund for children’s partners are:
Homegrown
rooted
innovative
nimble
resourceful
They are trusted local resources led by people
who live and work in the community.
They existed before we got there, and will
continue long after we leave. They are committed
because the community is their home.
They tackle old problems in new ways—
they know what works and what does not.
They adapt quickly to community context,
from natural disasters to political uprisings.
They understand how to communicate, collaborate,
and make the most of every resource.

where we work
2011 – 2012
14
As the world continues to grow and the economy struggles
to adapt, our permanent condition has changed: we must do
more with less. Not only that, but children and their families
are at greater risk as their communities face increasing
instability. It’s a challenge we cannot ignore, and a time for
resourcefulness, ingenuity, and resilience—qualities GFC and
its grantees strive to exemplify at all times. More than ever
before, we are buckling down and sharpening our impact—
getting support to the right place at the right time, reaching
and impacting the most marginalized children in the world.

Women’s Education for Advancement and Empowerment
Thousands of Burmese children are growing up in refugee camps—the only home they have ever known.
Refugee families face immense challenges: unemployment, legal obstacles, and insufficient social services
make it difficult for parents to raise their children to be healthy and whole. WEAVE recognizes the potential
of refugee communities, and works to ensure that displaced Burmese women and children possess the
skills they need to fully participate in their future development.
WEAVE focuses on healthcare, income generation activities for women, and early childhood development.
With GFC’s support, WEAVE has served more than 4,000 children annually, strengthening preschools inside
several refugee camps along the Thailand-Burma and China-Burma borders. The organization provides
curriculum building and teacher training, development of children’s learning materials, and parental
training, and it works with local women’s groups to ensure that children continue their education. Thanks to
WEAVE, 95 percent of students successfully transition to primary school—and are on their way to success.
WEAVE is a 2012 Maya Ajmera Sustainability Award winner.

At The Global Fund for Children, we know we have succeeded when
our grantees succeed. Over the course of our partnership, our strongest
grantees mature into robust organizations: they have diversified funding
sources, influential public profiles, sound management practices, and
replicable programs.
We honor our most exceptional grantees with this $25,000 award, providing
a strategic infusion of funds that further contributes to the organizations’
long-term stability. Our partners’ strength is felt well beyond their
walls—these 24 awardees reached more than 67,000 vulnerable children
in this year alone.
Though the award was established in 2004, this is its inaugural year as
the Maya Ajmera Sustainability Award. We are so pleased to give this
award in honor of GFC’s founder, and to thank her for all she has done to
foster sustainable grassroots change around the world.
This year, we disbursed a total of $600,000 in Maya Ajmera Sustainability
Awards to 24 organizations, bringing the total investment to $2.95 million
in 118 organizations since we established the award eight years ago.

oshood and Kudirat Abiola lost their lives while
fighting for democracy in Nigeria. After winning
Nigeria’s first democratic election in 1993, Moshood
served his term in solitary confinement and died
in prison. In 1996, Kudirat was assassinated on the
streets of Lagos, having challenged her husband’s
confinement and continued her political activism.
But today, Moshood and Kudirat’s memory lives
on in their daughter, Hafsat Abiola-Costello, and in
the hundreds of women and girls served by Kudirat
Initiative for Democracy (KIND). Inspired by her
parents, Hafsat founded KIND to strengthen civil
society and ensure that more women play an active
role in Nigeria’s democracy.
In 2006, we became the first US-based institutional
funder of KIND’s Junior Kudra program, a leadership
development program that has since become a
cornerstone of the organization’s work. The program
empowers adolescent girls to demand their rights
and reach their potential, using a tailored curriculum
to address leadership, sexual harassment, sexual and
reproductive rights, public service, and education.
Over the course of our funding, KIND has grown
its budget from $123,000 in 2006 to $276,400 in 2011.
We were especially honored this year to welcome
Hafsat Abiola-Costello as a member of our board of
directors—an important milestone for us, as it’s the
first time a grantee partner founder has served on
the GFC leadership team.
KIND is using its Maya Ajmera Sustainability
Award to mobilize fundraising activities for the
construction of a leadership development training
center, where countless more women and girls will
shape the future of Nigeria.

Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project
Nyakagyezi, Uganda
A
t our spring gala in May, keynote speaker Jackson
Kaguri told our donors just how important
education is in the life of a child. Raising five children
in a small village in Uganda, Jackson’s parents
sacrificed everything to send their kids to school,
an opportunity they’d never had. In the morning,
Jackson said, his father would line them up from
oldest to youngest, then pull out a single #2 pencil.
He’d break the pencil into five pieces, giving one stub
to each child for the school day.
One-fifth of a pencil. With that tool, Jackson has
grown up to do great things, among them founding
The Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project and transforming
the lives of hundreds of children affected by HIV/
AIDS. Nyaka provides AIDS orphans with holistic care,
offering free primary education, scholarships for
secondary education, basic healthcare, and nutrition
and community garden programs.
Since receiving its first GFC grant in 2006, Nyaka
has continually expanded its programs and now
reaches 775 children annually, compared to 118 in 2006.
During this same time period, the organization grew
its budget from $30,000 to over $500,000. Nyaka is
currently working toward opening a secondary school
for graduates of its two primary schools.
We are proud to have been among Nyaka’s
very first supporters, and to now present the
organization with a Maya Ajmera Sustainability
Award. Together, we are ensuring that even the
most vulnerable children in Uganda have the
chance, as Jackson Kaguri did, to transform their
lives through education.

Club 21 Udruenja za Pozitivnu Komunikaciju
(Association for Positive Communication)
Kids shouldn’t have to worry about a faltering economy—but for many youth living in Serbia, the
country’s harsh realities can’t be ignored. Statistics show that over a third of young people between
the ages of 15 and 24 are neither employed, nor in school, nor in vocational training. In response to
this pervasive issue, Club 21 runs Moonlight Sports Clubs—a fun and safe alternative to roaming the
streets. Instead of turning to alcohol, violence, and crime, kids come to the clubs to play chess
and table tennis, eat hot meals, and meet with mentors.
The clubs serve a diverse group of nearly 500 vulnerable children: some have dropped out of school,
others have disabilities, and many belong to religious or ethnic minorities. In spite of these challenges,
the youth are active in all aspects of the organization’s work: they plan, make decisions, and
implement activities. Since partnering with GFC, Club 21 has grown from 3 clubs to 11, replicating
its model throughout Serbia—all on a budget of only $22,000.

thank you
This year, your generosity touched the lives of 1 million children in some of the
most marginalized communities in the world. With your help, they received
schoolbooks and scholarships, dental checkups and therapy sessions, nutritious
meals and shelter from harm.
But you also invested in their families, their communities, and their futures.
You provided a generation with choices—to be a student and not a slave; to speak
out and not be silenced; to become leaders against incredible odds. We hope
you take great pride in all you have done. Thank you.

The Grace Family
Nick Grace and his wife, Tracey, have been involved in philanthropy for
a long time, but they decided to join GFC’s new Family Giving Program as
a way to involve Nick’s five children in the process. After working with
GFC staff to select a pool of grantee partners for the children, Nick and
Tracey challenged each child to choose a favorite—and make a case
for investment.
Though their gifts support GFC’s Asia portfolio as a whole, the Grace
family receives updates from our staff to let them know how their chosen
grantees are doing. Nick is hopeful that the personal connection will
encourage his children’s interest in philanthropy. Emma, the oldest at 16,
seems to be enjoying the program the most.
“To read about the lives of the young women struggling in Pakistan
from abuse is very eye-opening. It made me not only appreciate my own
safe and happy life and family but also gave me a strong desire to do
something,” she says.
Thank you, Nick, Tracey, Emma, Liam, Dillon, Ryan, and Kyle!

Gunjan Jain
This winter, Gunjan Jain contacted GFC with a special request: she was
traveling to India, where she grew up, and wanted to visit a GFC grantee.
We put Gunjan in touch with Jamghat, a grantee in its first year of
funding. Jamghat runs two shelter homes for street children, as well
as a day center where children come to receive food, clothing, medical
checkups, and basic education. Gunjan visited both shelters and was
struck by the passion of the leaders and the children’s energy and spirit.
Even though it was a holiday, the children were playing in the shelters’
classrooms, eager and ready to learn.
“It was beautiful. I’ve been to other orphanages and shelters—I’ve
never seen anyone that happy,” she says.
Gunjan’s visit was a hopeful reminder of how real her impact is as
a donor—and why she supports GFC. “You can feel that you make a
difference because you get to the grassroots level. These organizations
operate as a family,” she says.
A dedicated supporter of GFC, Gunjan also serves on the Dallas
Leadership Council. We are so grateful to Gunjan for her generosity,
leadership, and commitment to changing children’s lives.
If you are interested in visiting a GFC grantee partner, please contact Ana Maria
Argudo at [email protected].

Victor & Roz Leviatin
Like most grandparents, Victor and Roz Leviatin love to give their
grandchildren birthday gifts. But they have found a way to celebrate
without buying games and toys that may fall out of favor by the
following year. For each birthday, the Leviatins make a gift in the
child’s honor to GFC.
The Leviatins find it easier to make room in their budget when they
spread their gifts out across the year. They contribute based on each
child’s age, with the amount increasing as the children get older. This
helps them grow their gifts over time without suddenly straining their
bank account.
“I don’t think of us as big donors,” Roz says, though she is often
pleasantly surprised when she adds up the donations at the end of the
year. “We just love the idea.”
We are grateful to Chance, Cole, Neve, and Samuel for sharing their birthday
gifts with children all over the world, and to Victor and Roz for giving
creatively and generously.

Quintiles
In 2011, when Quintiles was recognized as one of the top 25 World’s
Best Multinational Workplaces, the company decided to celebrate with
what you might call a tweet-a-thon. Selecting GFC as its beneficiary,
Quintiles invited its employees to use Twitter to share the news of
the achievement. For every tweet (identified with a special hashtag),
Quintiles committed to making a $1 donation to GFC, up to $25,000.
“The Twitter campaign absolutely exceeded our expectations, and we
were pleased to make a $25,000 donation,” says Steve Brechbiel, senior
director of community relations for Quintiles.
Quintiles, a pharmaceutical services company, designated its funds
for GFC grantees that work on children’s health. The gift supported
programs like mobile dental clinics for slum-dwelling children, therapy
sessions for children living with HIV, and medical services for children
with disabilities.
Thank you, Quintiles (and your staff), for helping children to be healthy,
safe, and strong.

Flora Family Foundation
In 2000, 12-year-old Mary Hewlett recommended GFC for a grant from
the Flora Family Foundation. This first grant, inspired by Mary’s love for
the Global Fund for Children book Children from Australia to Zimbabwe,
has grown into a 12-year partnership.
Established by the family of William R. Hewlett and Flora Lamson
Hewlett, the Flora Family Foundation has supported GFC in myriad ways.
Multiple family members—including Mary and her mother, Esther—
donate individually to GFC and continue to recommend gifts from the
foundation. Juliette Gimon, another granddaughter in the family, served
on GFC’s board from 2002 to 2011, including three years as the board chair.
We give our heartfelt thanks to the Hewlett family and the Flora
Family Foundation for contributing to GFC’s growth and development
through their steadfast support over the years.
“We are proud of our long association with The Global Fund for Children. We
admire GFC’s exceptional and multifaceted dedication to grassroots organizations
serving the critical needs of disadvantaged children throughout the world.”

Mirman School
This year at The Mirman School in Los Angeles, 65 fourth-graders read
their hearts out. They did it because they love books, but also because
they love helping kids in other parts of the world—by the end of the
2011–2012 Mirman School Read-a-thon, they had raised more than
$5,000 for vulnerable children worldwide.
The read-a-thon has been a tradition for The Mirman School and
GFC since 1999, coordinated each year by dedicated teacher Candee
Corliss. Fourth-graders solicit pledges from sponsors, who contribute
based on the number of books read, and log sheets help the students
track their books and the amount of money they raise. In class, they
learn about the children they are helping, including social, economic,
and cultural context. Since the beginning of our partnership, 467
students have read countless books to raise well over $60,000 for
GFC’s grantees.
Thank you, Mirman School!

Les Amis
Fashion lovers are drawn to Dallas-based Les Amis for its gorgeous
jewelry and accessories from international designers. Sparkling
amethyst rings from Thailand and colorful fabric bracelets from
Turkey are reason enough to shop at the online store—but Les Amis
sweetens the deal by donating 10 percent of its net profits to The
Global Fund for Children.
Founders Ami Doshi and Amisha Patel captured their business
philanthropy model with the phrase “Shop Here, Give There.” Their
customers get unique, finely crafted jewelry and at the same time
contribute to improving the lives of vulnerable children around
the world.
We couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with (and shop at) Les Amis!

Prayasam (Endeavor)
Working 16 hours a day, seven days a week, in temperatures that can exceed 104°F—these are conditions
no adult should endure, let alone a child. Yet thousands of children come with their families to the brick
kilns of Kolkata for seasonal work, one of the only opportunities available to unskilled migrants in the
region. Prayasam supports these children and equips them with the skills they need to break away from this
oppressive cycle of poverty. The organization began with one nonformal education center—now it provides
recreation, health education, nutritional supplements, mentoring, and media training as well.
With GFC’s support last year, Prayasam reached 4,000 children and youth. More than 1,000 were trained
to become peer leaders, educating their communities about children’s rights. Prayasam also added
a mobile library, storytelling classes, and a new mentoring program that provides students with
professional skills training so they can gain better employment. With Prayasam’s help, children working
in the kilns are finding a path to a better future.

The Global Fund for Children responded well in the face
of a continuing global economic recession. We started
the year optimistic about our ability to raise funds and
expand our grantmaking support to our grantee partners.
We achieved our goals on many fronts, including
awarding more grants than in any year prior. Our annual
fundraising concluded with a gala held in New York
City, drawing many new donors to the organization and
strengthening existing relationships.
Our goal in the area of fiscal responsibility is to maintain
the highest standards of reporting and transparency. This
goes beyond numbers and ratios to include being good
stewards of our resources and dependable fiduciaries
for those who entrust us with their giving. To that end,
we are pleased to have received, for our eighth year in a
row, Charity Navigator’s coveted 4-star rating for sound
fiscal management and commitment to accountability
and transparency. Only 1 percent of rated charities have
ever received eight consecutive 4-star ratings, indicating
that The Global Fund for Children outperforms most
other charities in the United States. We take pride in this
recognition by such a highly regarded leader in charity
evaluation, and we endeavor to continue earning the trust
of our donors through our fiscal discipline.
We distributed $3.7 million in direct grants to our
current grantees and awarded $600,000 in Maya Ajmera
Sustainability Awards to exiting grantee partners. Our
grantmaking increased 12 percent year-over-year and
represented 70 percent of our total spending increase.
Organization-wide, costs were tightly controlled,
allowing us to carry forward a higher cash balance into
the next fiscal year.
Direct grantmaking represented 50 percent of our total
expenditures. The ratio of total funds spent on program
services increased by 2 percent to 83 percent. Overhead
of 17 percent, reflecting general, administrative, and
fundraising costs, was slightly above our budgeted goal
of 15 percent due to the impact of expenses related to
the gala event.
Our revenues this year display a volatility experienced
by many NGOs in the application of multiyear gift
recognition. Multiyear gifts are recorded in their
entirety in the year they are pledged. In a year where
few multiyear grants are recognized, revenue declines
can appear sharp. Revenue fell this year by 40 percent,
in part because of this dynamic. This was also the major
contributor to the 33 percent decline in net assets.
Reporting outcomes aside, our development team
continually pursues opportunities with corporate and
institutional donors to secure grants beyond one year.
This kind of funding enables us to plan for upcoming
years and helps to ensure the steady growth of our
grantee partners as they develop in their capacity to
provide lasting solutions affecting the lives of the
children they serve.
In the coming fiscal year, we anticipate an equally
challenging economic climate in which to achieve our
fundraising goals. Yet we remain confident that the
nature of our work attracts individuals and institutions
eager to find ways to reach the world’s most vulnerable
children. The venture capital model we embrace
leverages scarce resources to achieve amazing results that
help these children reach their potential. Our upcoming
budget continues to keep expenses low relative to
our grantmaking and program work. We project our
grantmaking expenditures will remain consistent with
this year’s. We are thankful to all who support our
efforts and who, through their contributions, help us
to improve the lives of children.

Challenging Heights
When a family lives in abject poverty, parents can be driven to desperate acts—like selling their
children into slavery. Human trafficking and child labor are all too common in the Winneba district
of central Ghana, where many children are forced to work on farms and fishing boats. Challenging
Heights staff and volunteers, often at great personal peril, rescue children from exploitation
and help them regain lives of freedom and hope.
Founder James Kofi Annan is a survivor of child slavery who escaped and enrolled himself in school
at the age of 13—now he helps other children do the same. Last year, Challenging Heights supported
1,420 trafficked and at-risk children with educational, vocational, and rehabilitation programs;
reached more than 30,000 people with awareness campaigns; and opened the largest and most
comprehensive trafficking shelter in Ghana. GFC is proud to have been the organization’s first
US-based institutional funder—and to have leveraged an additional $230,000 from other funders
to support Challenging Heights and the children of Winneba.
