serious
about ending childhood poverty
POVERTY CLOSES DOORS.
WE USE COMEDY TO OPEN THEM.
Change A childhood, and you change everything
Nearly 12 million kids in the U.S. grow up in poverty each year. That early disadvantage strips away childhood essentials: health, education, and opportunity. But when we support kids from the start, we spark new possibilities.
The power of comedy moves people to act
Comedy breaks down walls, opens hearts, challenges assumptions, and connects us. When we see others more clearly, we’re more willing to step up and help.
Real progress doesn’t happen without all of us
When millions take small actions, we build momentum—opening doors, changing lives, and creating a world every child deserves.
OVER 50 MILLION CHILDREN AND FAMILIES HELPED
Every statistic tells story after story of lives changed, futures unlocked—expanding what’s possible not only for kids, but for their families and communities.
