Elevate Children Funders Group

Elevate Children Funders Group (ECFG) is the leading global network of funders focused exclusively on the wellbeing and rights of children and youth. We envision a world where all children and youth can thrive, exercise their rights, and live free from adversity — especially those most marginalized and vulnerable to abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence.

Founded in 2011, ECFG has over 30 members. ECFG operates on the principle that we are better together: our collective impact is greater than the sum of individual efforts, enabling sustainable change at scale.

Your membership dues help sustain this vital network, supporting learning, collaboration, and collective action for children and youth globally. Contributions are assessed based on a small percentage of your organization’s child- and youth-focused grants, but all contributions—large or small—ensure your engagement and the strength of the network.
