We’re proud to announce the renewal of our partnership with Kimberly-Clark, who has committed $12.8 million over three years to support menstrual and maternal health programs in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Peru and Vietnam. Together, we’re working to ensure that every woman and every girl — from a baby’s first step to adolescence to motherhood — has access to the knowledge, care and dignity she deserves. Since 2001, UNICEF’s partnership with Kimberly-Clark has reached nearly 14 million people across 26 countries, improving access to menstrual health, maternal care, newborn services and early childhood development. This renewal aims to build on that impact, supporting 5.8 million women, girls and infants directly, and reaching 9.5 million more through health education and community programs. It’s also part of Kimberly-Clark’s recent announcement that it will be deepening its commitment to uplifting women and girls around the world. To the teams at Kimberly-Clark, thank you for your commitment to girls, women and their communities — and for your continued partnership. Learn more: https://prn.to/42AF09j

We advocate for UNICEF’s work worldwide to ensure every child is healthy, educated, protected and respected.
About us
For eight decades, UNICEF USA has partnered with American corporations, faith-based and civil society organizations, individuals, philanthropic foundations and government agencies to deliver critical nutrition, health, education and lifesaving humanitarian aid for children. UNICEF USA works alongside the American people and the U.S. government to invest in programs that make life better for children. In 2023, UNICEF USA raised more than $850 million in contributions from hundreds of thousands of individual and corporate donors from across America, in addition to the U.S. government’s voluntary contribution to UNICEF. Domestic and international research has found that a $1 investment in children and their well-being yields a tenfold return to society. UNICEF USA supports UNICEF’s status as the world’s leading voice for children. We advocate for policies that improve outcomes for children globally while making America safer, stronger and more prosperous. In fact, in 2024 alone, UNICEF procured $770 million of therapeutic food, medicine and other critical supplies and services from U.S. companies across 37 states. UNICEF USA has been awarded GuideStar's Platinum Seal of Transparency, the highest rating, in recognition of the honesty and visibility we provide to supporters. We've also earned a Four-Star rating from Charity Navigator, the best possible score for nonprofits, indicating to donors that they can confidently give to UNICEF USA as our passions and values are aligned with our supporters. UNICEF USA's reported program expense ratio of 86 percent means we are a highly efficient charity, as defined by independent monitors. For every dollar spent, 86 cents goes directly toward helping children; we spend about 12 cents on fundraising costs and just under 2 cents on administration.

In his recent address to the U.N. General Assembly, President Trump argued that the United Nations must be more effective. Accountability matters — but it would be a mistake to overlook what’s already working. The United Nations plays a vital role in advancing global security and well-being, and UNICEF is one of its most effective agencies. UNICEF delivers results that directly benefit children and strengthen American security — from fighting malnutrition and disease to helping keep children in classrooms. In 2024 alone, UNICEF helped 441 million children under 5 access lifesaving services. Fact: UNICEF is efficient, effective and critical to supporting American interests.

The story of Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF began in 1950, when schoolteacher Mary Emma Allison asked her husband, minister Clyde Allison, how they could make a positive impact through Halloween. That year, children in their Philadelphia neighborhood collected old but repairable shoes — and later, coins — to help kids in need. Their efforts that year raised $17 for UNICEF to provide powdered milk to children, and the original Kids Helping Kids movement was born. From that small act of kindness grew a powerful tradition that has raised nearly $200 million for children worldwide — providing vaccines, nutrition, safe water, education, mental health support and more. This October, join us in celebrating 75 years of #ToT4UNICEF — and help carry on the tradition of kids helping kids.
