About Us

UNICEF and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) works in 190 countries and territories to save and improve children's lives by providing health care and immunizations, clean water and sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief and more. The U.S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF’s work through fundraising, advocacy, and education in the United States. Together, we are working toward the day when ZERO children die from preventable causes and every child has a safe and healthy childhood.

What Do We Do?

The U.S. Fund for UNICEF fights for the survival and development of the world’s most vulnerable children and protects their basic human rights.

Why UNICEF?

Because UNICEF is experienced. UNICEF has helped save more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization in the world. We have global reach, expertise, and the access and influence it takes to get things done in difficult places and emergency situations.

Because UNICEF will use your money wisely. The U.S. Fund for UNICEF spends 90.4 cents of every dollar we receive on programs that help children. Only 6.7 cents goes to fundraising, and 2.9 cents to administration. Our 990 tax forms are available online for viewing and downloading.

Because UNICEF is relentless. UNICEF will do whatever it takes to save a child. Stopping wars so children can be vaccinated. Bringing lifesaving food and water to places no one else can reach. We work with government leaders, civic figures, celebrities, corporations, campus groups, churches, teachers and people just like you—anyone willing to help us advocate for the survival and wellbeing of every child.

Our Goal

We believe in a world where ZERO children die of things we can prevent.

Regional Offices

The U.S. Fund for UNICEF has Regional Offices in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and San Francisco. These offices raise awareness about UNICEF's lifesaving work in their communities through local events and activities.

In Nigeria, Mother of Girl with Polio Determined to Spare Other Children the Same Fate

Aisha wears a UNICEF-blue hijab to make her easily recognizable as a Volunteer Community Mobilizer in northern Nigeria where she lives. In each of her village’s 220 households, Aisha knows every child below age 5 by name. And, most of all, she knows which of the children have been vaccinated against polio. Many children do not receive the polio vaccine here, and irreversible paralysis affects one child out of every 200 infected with the virus. Aisha understands this statistic better than anyone. Aisha’s own daughter was that one child.

UNICEF Concerned About Reports of Children Trapped in Qusayr

UNICEF is extremely concerned about the safety of civilians in the embattled city of Qusayr in Syria and fears that thousands of children and women could be trapped there by fighting. Heavy clashes have been reported in Qusayr, a city near the Lebanese border, with a population of some 30,000. Between 12,000 and 20,000 people, many of them children, are thought to still be inside the city.
