Save the Children receives income from a wide variety of sources, including individuals, foundations, governments and companies. These valuable contributions make it possible for us to secure improvements for children all over the world. We have a clear responsibility to the world's children, and to all of our supporters, to make the best possible use of these resources.

All 28 national Save the Children organisations work within policies and standards agreed at the annual Members' Meetings. We use our expertise to make lasting, positive impacts for children and their families. To make the best use of resources, Save the Children organisations work with each other and with partner organisations where feasible.

We spend almost all of our money on programmes to benefit children directly. Most of these programmes are based in the world’s poorest countries, where millions of children struggle to survive and thrive. Save the Children organisations also operate domestic programmes to meet the particular needs of children in their own country.

We are committed to managing our funds in a fully accountable way. Effective administration does cost money, but we keep this cost as low as possible.
