Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF)

Compiled from public sources

The Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) is an independent philanthropic organisation established in 2002 by Chris Hohn and Jamie Cooper. It is the world's largest philanthropy focused exclusively on improving children's lives. The foundation's primary investment strategy is to provide catalytic funding and grants to partners addressing issues such as child health, climate change, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and child protection. With its headquarters in London, CIFF's approach is to use data and evidence to achieve large-scale, sustainable impact for children and adolescents in developing countries. The endowment for CIFF is distinct from the hedge fund, The Children's Investment Fund Management (TCI), which initially provided a portion of its profits to the foundation.
