Elevate Children Funders Group is a global consortium of philanthropic organizations committed to advancing philanthropy in support of youth facing adversity. Our mission is to elevate the importance of investing in children and youth as a primary means of achieving sustainable human, social and economic development, all of which are critical to furthering global human rights, peace and security. As a platform for raising the philanthropic field through shared best practices, elevated grantcraft and pooled efforts, ECFG works on the premise that it is “better together” and that the sum of the parts can drive greater sustainable change than the work of individual foundations in any given field.
