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.

Across the world, millions of women and girls face barriers to essential health care due to stigma and misinformation, lack of supportive systems and many other obstacles. UNICEF and Kimberly-Clark are working to change that. Through our renewed partnership, we’re aiming to reach 5.8 million women, girls and infants with direct health and education services, and 9.5 million people with programs that promote menstrual, maternal and newborn health. This work will empower women and girls to manage their health with confidence, while helping communities build stronger, more equitable systems for the future. Here’s a look at how this partnership is driving change for women, girls and families around the world.

While polio may seem like a disease of the past, its eradication remains unfinished business and one of the most ambitious undertakings in global health history. In recognition of #WorldPolioDay, I had the opportunity to speak with Jessica Malaty Rivera, an epidemiologist and science communicator, about the remarkable progress that’s been made in the fight to #EndPolio and the hurdles that remain. Jessica’s insights remind us that this work isn’t just about one disease; It’s about what’s possible when innovation, collaboration and persistence come together — qualities that drive both global health progress and systemic change everywhere. Thank you, Jessica, for this conversation and your expertise — and here’s to the scientists, health workers and communities who continue this vital work to create a healthier future for every child. Catch our conversation in my latest article with Fast Company.
