Philanthropy

Partner with us to help every child thrive. 

Join a community of philanthropists committed to supporting children and families facing incredible challenges created by conflict, inequality and poverty. Together, we can drive lasting change in the UK and around the world. 

Support from individual philanthropists and charitable trusts is vital to our work. Your generosity helps us to protect children caught up in emergencies, but also powers the long-term programmes that help children to learn, grow and thrive around the world and here in the UK.

• A century of partnership and progress. For more than 100 years, Save the Children has worked alongside children, families and communities to ensure every child survives, learns and is protected.
• Global reach, local expertise. We work in more than 100 countries, partnering with local organisations, communities and governments to create solutions that last. Our teams are embedded in communities, ensuring your support reaches children quickly and effectively.
• Rapid emergency response. When crisis strikes, children are the most vulnerable. Our humanitarian teams are among the first to respond - delivering food, shelter, medical care, safe water, shelter and psychological support within hours.
• Evidence-driven programmes. Our work is grounded in rigorous research, monitoring and evaluation. We invest in what works and we scale it.
• Innovation. We are constantly finding new ways to reach children faster and more effectively - from using drones to deliver vital medical supplies to remote communities, to simple, lifesaving solutions that support newborns to survive. We test and scale practical ideas that can improve millions of lives.
• Impact investment. We use innovative funding approaches, including impact investing, to go further for children. By backing organisations working to solve the challenges children face, we help create lasting change. We are there for both children around the world and here in the UK supporting families and communities to ensure every child can grow up safe and well.
• Your philanthropy accelerates impact. Large gifts allow us to innovate, scale and respond quickly - reaching children who would otherwise be left behind. Philanthropy fuels the breakthroughs that change entire systems.  

A partnership built on trust, insight and shared purpose. 

We recognise that philanthropy is personal. Our role is to help you achieve the greatest impact for children. 

• A dedicated point of contact. You'll have a dedicated member of our team who will work closely with you to understand your interests and priorities, and guide your giving.
• Tailored giving opportunities. Whether your focus is education, child protection or climate change, or geographically in the UK, Nigeria, Syria or Myanmar - we'll connect you with programmes aligned to your interests.
• Transparent reporting and measurable results. You'll receive bespoke updates and reports that share progress, challenges, insights and the difference your support is helping to make.
• Exclusive events and briefings. Attend best-in-class events giving you the opportunity to network and learn. Or join private briefings with our programmes specialists, humanitarian responders, advocacy specialists and senior leadership. Gain insight into the challenges children face in the UK and globally, and the solutions your support makes possible.
• Recognition - if you want it. We celebrate our philanthropic partners in ways that feel right for you, whether publicly or privately. 

Don't just take our word for it - read what our philanthropists say about working with us.
