In 2024, #SNAP supported over 41 million people every month. Almost 4 in 10 were children. But starting this month, federal changes to SNAP are putting millions of children in the U.S. at greater risk of hunger. Join us in urging Congress to #ProtectSnap now 👉 https://lnkd.in/etSQ7xiB

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 Sudan, "the deadly combination of hunger, disease and displacement is placing millions of children at risk," warns UNICEF. In the western regions of Sudan — notably North Darfur, South Darfur, West Kordofan and South Kordofan — active conflict and severely restricted humanitarian access are driving a sharp deterioration in hunger and malnutrition. UNICEF is working with partners to provide urgently needed support for children and families. Here's what you need to know 👉 https://lnkd.in/erhmQjCD

Federal changes made to #SNAP in July have already put millions of U.S. children at greater risk of hunger — impacting families in every community. Now, with the ongoing government shutdown, those challenges are compounding. When families lack access to enough nutritious food, children face lasting consequences — from poorer health outcomes to reduced academic performance. That’s why we need you to join us in urging Congress to restore access to #SNAP, so that no child in any community goes hungry. Take action now: https://lnkd.in/ed8enQiE #ProtectSNAP

The countdown to the UNICEF Gala has begun! 🎉 On Giving Tuesday, December 2, the UNICEF Gala will bring together humanitarians, philanthropists, corporate leaders and UNICEF Ambassadors and staff with one shared goal: to help UNICEF deliver lifesaving results for children. Around the world, children are facing escalating crises, including conflict, hunger and displacement. UNICEF is there in more than 190 countries and territories, delivering health care, safe water, nutrition, education, protection — and hope. The UNICEF Gala is more than a gathering — it is a catalyst for impact, fueling UNICEF’s mission to ensure every child is healthy, educated, protected and respected. This year’s event will also feature the creative support of Moment Factory, helping transform the evening into a powerful experience that underscores what’s at stake — and what is possible when we come together. #UNICEFGala #GivingTuesday #ForEveryChild
