Children's Rights Innovation Fund (CRIF)

CRIF is a grantmaking organization and donor-learning community working to build power with children and youth organizers and their allies. We work to change how philanthropy and international development sectors resource and advance children’s rights globally. Our work confronts the root causes of children’s vulnerability— including racism, sexism, colonialism, authoritarianism, and other systemic oppressions—and strengthens the root drivers of their wellbeing. Through participatory grantmaking, we are committed to learning alongside children and youth activists and sharing what we learn with peers in the children’s rights space. Ultimately, we want children and youth activists to have the funding and community they need to change the world now.
