Our work
We find and invest in community-based organizations and individuals around the world that shift social norms, policies, and practices to foster lasting change for children and youth. Our work spans four regions and is organized into six intersecting thematic areas. Our initiatives include multiple community-based organizations tackling similar issues to maximize the opportunity for peer learning and collective action. We believe that our partners are the experts on their communities, contexts, and the children they serve.
Thematic focus areas
Gender justice
GFC and our partners promote gender equity, advance girls’ education, inspire healthy masculinities, support the rights of LGBTQ+ youth, and ensure that young people live free from gender-based violence and exploitation.
