Overview 

Together, a group of committed donors—including the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), Focus for Health Foundation, The Indigo Trust, Oak Foundation, Phillips Foundation, Porticus, and World Childhood Foundation—is preparing to launch Funders for a Safe Childhood (working program title). This initiative aims to work on behalf of the field to drive catalytic private funding into solutions to combat childhood sexual violence worldwide. 

Sexual violence against children is one of the largest global pandemics of our time. According to the World Health Organization and UNICEF, one in five girls and one in seven boys have experienced sexual violence before the age of 18 (October 2024). This experience can have a devastating impact on their lives, leading to mental health issues, poor educational outcomes, and a higher risk of domestic violence. Unfortunately, organizations dedicated to protecting children are chronically underfunded​, often​ due to stigma, misconceptions about the inevitability of abuse, and a lack of awareness about effective solutions. 

We are at an inflection point—the tireless work of leaders around the world has proven that child​hood​ sexual violence is preventable and there are exciting opportunities to drive significant progress, marked by: 

• A vibrant and growing field backed by strong leaders, organizations, and innovators. 
• Proven interventions for prevention across the globe that are ready to scale, including those documented in the Safe Futures Hub. 
• A first-ever field-led global vision to end childhood sexual violence quicker and a roadmap that charts the journey ahead, facilitated by To Zero. 
• Growing political will at the national and international levels to respond to the crisis. 
• A new sense of urgency spurred by the growing movement of survivors and allies. 

Inspired by growing optimism, Funders for a Safe Childhood aims to address years of under-investment by engaging donors to be part of a growing movement to build a world where children can thrive and live free from sexual abuse. From their collective decades of experience in this field, the initiative’s founding donors know that barriers to engagement by donors can include navigating the complexities of the issue and understanding strategies and opportunities for impact. 

Funders for a Safe Childhood will act as an honest broker, helping donors navigate the issue, build a more connected and vibrant donor community, and prioritize transformative investments in this growing field led by strong leaders, organizations, and innovators. The initiative’s founding donors have ​​​​fully funded this resource to: 

• Offer personalized advising and support to donors, encouraging new and increased investments through philanthropic guidance and oppo
