Overview
Child sexual abuse is preventable. This fact drives and inspires our support to end child sexual abuse online and offline. Our partners are survivors, advocates, and researchers working to accelerate action at the community, national, and global levels.
To pursue our vision and support our partners’ work, we have divided our grant-making into six priority funding areas that focus on research and advocacy. These include: (1) investing in innovative research and supporting promising solutions; (2) supporting research that positively engages men and boys and promotes gender equality; (3) ensuring digital environments are safe for children; (4) ensuring that competitive sports are safe for children; (5) bringing justice to survivors; and (6) supporting survivor-led organisations.
We also fund strategic opportunities including support for networks that strengthen the movement to end child sexual abuse, survivor groups, and other catalytic or time-bound initiatives. We work in two teams: solutions & advancing action and accountability & ending impunity.
Our programme grant-making in 2022
We made 40 grants totalling USD 49,02 million
