Our Impact
When kids grow up in poverty, it can limit their potential and trap them in cycles of hardship that last generations. At Comic Relief US, we believe in addressing poverty’s impact and its root causes. We focus on children and young people because they are uniquely affected, and with the right support are more likely to escape poverty as adults, and break these cycles for future generations.
Our Fundraising Approach
Humor and poverty may seem worlds apart, but laughter connects people, builds community, and inspires action. Through entertainment, engaging content, and digital campaigns, we connect, inform, and raise awareness, driving fundraising that empowers our partners to open pathways to social and economic mobility for children and young people facing poverty.
Our Grantmaking Approach
We focus on the four interconnected areas of health, safety education, and empowerment to address the most acute needs of children and young people impacted by poverty and injustice, while building resilience for their families and communities.
Whether supporting LGBTQ+ youth facing stigma or homelessness, delivering life-saving healthcare for families in need, or supporting leadership development in underserved communities, our partners truly reflect the breadth and depth of our mission.
