International Children's Fund

ICF works hard to consistently provide life-saving aid to children and their families that need it most. Excited to see what amazing projects and work they do in 2025. 46 years down, many to go!

Great organization!

I love to support charities that help kids. This charity does great work helping kids.

METAD, Inc. partners with ICF to ship medical humanitarian aid to developing countries. They are knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. We enjoy collaborating with them to complete successful projects. We would highly recommend ICF to receive donations in support of their work.

International Children's Fund makes an impact on families all over the world. It's truly inspirational to see all of the positive change that they're making to those in need.

Always a positive experience, they do amazing work!

I have been a donor to ICF for over a year, but their work has been around for more than 40 years. Founder Dr. Bruenning's humility and genuine passion for the organization over the decades has cultivated amazing relationships with communities around the world who are in dire need of support. This organization excels at stewarding the donations and gifts where they are most needed, and brings hope and joy to the children they serve.

The work ICF does to care for children emotionally and physically is amazing. They bring hope to the most impoverished areas and build relationships with indigenous pastors to create change that is personal, meaningful, and most efficient. They care about a variety of causes, like food, clean water, medicine, education, and more, and care for the holistic needs of the communities they serve. ICF is also very trustworthy because over 99% of donations go directly to the cause. A great organization to support!

ICF's work around the globe is unparalleled. They truly go into the areas that need it most and do not shy away from helping in desperate areas. Their work in education, clean water, animal husbandry, and agriculture shows their commitment to creating not only a better today, but a better tomorrow. I am confident that when I support ICF, I am helping communities directly, one child at a time.

ICF has been assisting those in need for over 40 years! With an amazing success rate of sending over 99.7% of funds raised to those in need. They are able to do this by keeping expenses low.

As a supporter of International Children's Fund, I always feel confident that my donation will go directly to the cause. Whether through providing food, clean water, and medicine, or seeking out underprivileged children to offer them an education and hope, ICF always works where they are needed most. I am inspired by the work of ICF's partners, who dedicatedly steward gifts across impoverished communities. Truthfully an organization setting the bar for non-profits in efficiency, care, sustainability, and humility.

I am amazed at the work that ICF has been able to do consistently for over 40 years. increasing the number of lives that they are able to touch year after year. Over 99% of the funds are used to provide aid! Wow..

AMAZING CHARITY;

International Children’s Fund is working with Partners to deliver 1.5 million meals to vulnerable children in Africa & India.

In Uganda we serve children nutritious meals through organized Cook outs.

Educating, Clothing, Providing medicines to vulnerable children in Uganda -

ICF is a volunteer-based organization that uses a network of dedicated indigenous ministers to provide humanitarian aid to desperately poor children and their families in Africa, India, and Pakistan. Its unique approach allows it to be highly efficient and effective delivering services to those in greatest need.

For more than 40 years this organization has been stretching each dollar of support to deliver the maximum amount of food, medicine, housing, water wells, training, and educational services. With more than 99% of expenses being spent on program services and only 1% on administration, donors know that their support is truly making a difference.

I am so fortunate to be involved in this wonderful organization.

METAD, Inc. partners with ICF to ship medical humanitarian aid to developing countries. They are knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. We enjoy collaborating with them to complete successful projects. We would highly recommend ICF to receive donations in support of their work.

This is a great organization with a direct impact on the communities they support! They have created a unique way of approaching how they send aid, allowing for more of it to reach those in need and truly make a difference.

ICF is dedicated to helping others and will not stop. Their kindness, selflessness, determination, and support for others are daily and won't rest. I encourage all to donate to this nonprofit and help others less fortunate. Help mothers, help kids, help families and do your part in making our world a better, safer and healthier place for all.

In the over twenty years I’ve been associated with ICF, Dr. Brunning’s outstanding commitment and dedication to this mission has been exemplary. Because of volunteers, he has been able to keep sexpenses to an absolute minimum. The readiness to react to life threatening events has been exceptional. Additionally, food, clothing, medical supplies, drugs and other basic living needs are solicited at zero to very low cost. Distribution through channels he has established (avoiding graft, theft and other nefarious activities that would prevent free distribution of materials). Schools, and water wells are among the many building projects that the Fund has begun and continues to supplement for the enrichment of the the needy.

ICF is one of the few charities you can donate to where you can rest assured that your money is actually going to the people in need. The founder, David Bruenning, is the most amazing man that truly walks with God. I pray for his charity to get blessed with donations, so that he can continue to bless others!

In my 30 plus years experience with Dr. David Bruenning and International Children's Fund, the expert professionalism, compassion, and faithfulness which they ALWAYS display inspire my UNLIMITED trust. This ministry, and Dr. Bruenning personally, are EXCELLENT examples of the Great Commandment, "Love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.". I have COMPLETE and God-Inspired Assurance in commending, and in recommending, International Children's Fund as MOST DESERVING of financial, prayerful, faith-filled support, even as I myself do so on a monthly basis.

I have Experienced the life Changing work of ICF in the country-side of Uganda.

Doc Dave’s ICF is doing wonders, helping Restore families, Hope in Communities. And the word is Preached..

We are Indebted by your selfless Love for the People in Uganda. And we appreciate the support Always.

Your donation allows us at the Living Word Missions in rural Liberia to procure and distribute food and essentials to the orphans and hungry.

❤The International children's fund consists of an amazing group of people who really care about kids. I've worked with doctor Dave and his staff for 7 years. I can honestly say everyone gives their heart n soul to make sure the kids are taken care of. ❤Dave is a true humanitarian!! Traveling to Africa sounds physically exhausting not to mention traveling into the countryside to aid folks that dont have the luxury of running water or things that we take for granted. This is intense hard work in 100° temps, blood sweat n tears ... all in the name of children and saving lives! Wow...just wow! No Ritz Carlton in the villages that Dave and staff travel to. The international children's fund gives whole heartedly and without reservation.❤ Kudos to Dr D and staff - you are all amazing people!! Bless you all!❤

International Children's Fund is an inspiring organization reaching the unreached children, ophans, albinos with food and shelter. Also providing clean drinking for rural children. It helped our Orphanage in Togo through fishpond, agriculture and farming. Let's us all get involved to support this awesome organization.

Life Changing! We work with ICF here in Uganda and with their support we are impacting communities and transforming the lives of children.

Lately we are working to help families, overcome Poverty through Animal Husbandry. We give out to needy women & mainly widows Goats & Chickens

I love giving to ICF!! To see the smiling faces on the receiving end, makes it worth it!!

My company donated clothing to International Children's Fund. They were wonderful to work with and sent us photos of our product being delivered and worn. Very much appreciated all the communication and thanks we received.

Love partnering with ICF! Dr. David and his team have such a passion for the peoples of the world and they don't just talk about it, but they put it into action each and every day. We've been blessed to partner with them in installing clean water wells in rural villages across India. An estimated 785 million people worldwide don't have access to clean water. ICF is helping to not only provide clean water, but also share with them about the Living Water! We are so thankful for the amazing work ICF has done for many, many years.

What makes International Children's so effective is partnering with local pastors who are already helping the poor in real practical ways. Helping an orphanage become more self sufficient with funds to put in a fish pond, to deworming medication distributed to the poorest of the poor by local, caring partners gives overlooked and forgotten children a better opportunity. Lastly, but not least, preaching the gospel. Knowing Jesus Christ and seeing his power worked out in your own life gives hope and joy for the future like nothing else can. All this is done with extremely low overhead so that you can be confident you support really is making a difference.

This nonprofit : International Children' Fund is known and is credible for the service that they provide to communities around the world . I have and my team follow their track record for two decades now . ICFaid is the Channel to reach people that are desperate in Need . Million of lives have been touched and the impact have given birth to transforming lives .That is to say , providing home for the homeless , giving hope hope to the hopeless . etc......

The work that ICF is doing is powerful and impactful for so many in under-resourced areas around the world. I'm grateful for them and their team.

So many African children being feed and dewormed. Last year ICF distributed over 32,000 mosquito nets to the most vulnerable children and their families in Ghana, Liberia, and Uganda.

the is the best organization ever I knew on this world. ICF is helping both our Orphanage and the communities in Togo. they are helping to become self-sufficient, drilling of clean water, education building, agriculture seed, Fishpond and food relief. send your donation today to ICF. they are thousands of children to reach and tens of villages to drill borehole water to drink. Together we make an impact. thanks

International Children Fund have been the best charity worldwide. It reaches places others don't go. ICF has made a huge impact in Togo. Please send your donation to ICF to save millions of dying orphans, children and families.

International Children's Fund is one of the most legitimate non-profits out there. No corporate nonsense, nearly all of the donations go to the people who need it. I know that the president has taken a $0 salary many times to ensure the organization can continue to do what it does.

They work in country with partners there, and they support their local economies. Brilliant.

I have visited ICF headquarters many times in Neenah Wisconsin. The amount of aid that they provide the world is simply insane. Local companies donate and it gets shipped around the world. Dr. David Bruenning has created the best non for profit I have ever seen.

It is hard to properly rate this organization. I have followed and supported them since they started, and have watched them do more with donated resources than most (if not all). They have maintained a steady resolve to reach people who otherwise would not have been reached, and they help not only the body but the souls of those they touch. I have the utmost confidence an trust, and am amazed that they accomplish so much, without enriching themselves. Wish there were more like this!

International Children's Fund it's an established and dedicated ministry. Dr. Bruenning is intricately involved in every aspect of ICF, thus giving this entity HIGH integrity; for I've 40 years.

I have volunteered with ICF for over 40 years. ICF has provided food, clothing, medical supplies, water wells and much more over the past 45 years. These material goods have open doors for the Gospel to be heard by millions. Individuals have also took their own money and time to teach people in third world countries how to use the supplies sent along with solid Biblical teaching. God has blessed ICF for its efforts to spread His Word.

I have been with international children’s fun for over 20 years I’ve been on the board for probably 10+ these last 20 years have been the highlight of my life and wouldn’t have changed it for anything we have come from a pretty slow process to write up-to-date with all the technology and have capable people to run the show as we’ve improved right up to where we need to be things are going great people are being fed people are being brought to Christ through ministry and they’re being called the gospel is being preached if you checked us out on our website please consider donating after you look at all it’s involved

I have worked with ICF since 1975. Throughout the years I have had the opportunity to meet several of our partners and visit them in Africa. God has taken the prayers and efforts of a few and has multiplied them more than we could have dreamed. The young twenty years olds who I met in the 1980's are now serving thousands in their own towns and villages in Africa. It
has been a blessing to see these young men grow in God's service. This has happened only with the support and prayers of many here in the U.S. THANK YOU and God bless all of you who have followed His leading.

Great charity with great people donating their time to help the less fortunate not only internationally but here in the United States and our own community! 5 star charity where your donations of money go to those in need and not into the pockets of the administrators!

A plus organization!

Full disclosure, this organization was founded by my uncle David Bruenning. I have watched him and his staff work tirelessly to deliver quality, essential items to those who desperately need support. I was able to take a brief tour of their warehouse and office and was blown away by the generosity of those donating items to them and more so by the care taken to make sure each and every shipping crate gets to those who it is intended for. My Uncle Dave is an inspiration to me and to those who serve with him. I know of few other organizations that run so efficiently, ensuring that the maximum amount of donations is spent on relief rather than running the program. Keep up the great work and God Bless!!!

When I look for a charity to donate to, many factors come into play. The job these folks are doing is phenomenal. . .but there is one thing that really stood out in my mind. So many directors/ CEOs of some charities take in huge salaries and compensation amounts. I searched Charity Navigator and found that Dr. Breunning accepts a livable salary so that more of the money coming in can help the children. They are a charity that works to keep the costs of operating low and that is so important in these days and times. I have total trust in this group and I appreciate and will continue to support International Children's Fund.

What a fantastic and inspiring organization! This summer several of our volunteers had the opportunity to attend an I.C.F. Brat Fry. Not only did we have the chance to observe their process, but to witness their passion and dedication in doing God's work. It was truly heartwarming to see how we in part, are able to help this cause. We could not be more proud or honored to work with such a wonderful organization. De Pere Christian Outreach

Wonderful people working hard for a beautiful cause!

They go above and beyond to help anyone in need great non profit place very helpful

I have been with ICF over 20 years and there never seems to be a dull moment. The things that the org does to help the needy is overwelming to me sometimes in that I don't know how we get the work done with such a small amount of volunteers! It is a real JOY to get a call from the office and hear "we have a container to load can you be available on such and such a day? I can't wait to get down and meet with the guys... I am so blessed to be a part of this truely Godly ministery and the things we are able to get done with the support of our donors....

Lori and Dr. Dave are exceptional stewards of the donations received by International Children's Fund. Having worked with them for the past decade, I am truly amazed at their commitment to helping those in need.......the time, energy, passion and love with which they carry out their mission inspires both the volunteers and the recipients of their good works.
May God bless and watch over them as they continue to carry out his vision of service to others.

International Children's fund is a straight forward caring organization with an excellent track record. Check out our 4 star CHARITY NAVIGATOR rating and web site at WWW.ICFAID.ORG

This is a wonderful non-profit organization that helps people in need in Africa and Haiti. They are very hands on, have a great group of volunteers and I have really had a great time being a part of what they do.

I have been associated with ICF for almost twenty years now. I have nothing but praise for them. Through them we have supplied quality medicines and medical supplies to hospitals and health facilities even in remote parts of my country. New and better orphanage buildings have been constructed, not to mention food items and clothing supplied to the needy. Currently we have finished drilling an hundred and sixty feet deep well for an orphanage to provide them with good clean water. All I can say is God bless International Children's Fund.

This is a very good non profit organization.,They are so companionate and caring about other people. They are doing a great job of helping people in Africa and around the world.,The people I've worked with are so great and hard working .,It is a good organization to get involved in.

The cheery voice of the Founder of International Children's Fund comes over the airwaves of my car radio as I make my highway commute to church each Sunday. He opens the broadcast for the weekly updates about International Children's Fund with the familiar greeting "Good news!!, Good news!!" and then makes every moment count as he dives into the interesting facts and tales of what the organization is up to, who he was meeting with, difficulties being encountered by people of other countries, and what is coming up in the future for ICF and how we can help. He then turns to his co-host and President, and she adds more interesting information about what was happening with the things she is involved with. Their passion is contagious and full of facts and HOPE!!!
I began hearing that they were actually located not too far from me - and I made a promise to myself to stop by to see about how I could make a donation, to meet them if that was possible. This is after all "INTERNATIONAL" Children's Fund....like the people at the top would have time to meet with me - someone who making a donation. This place sounded like such a "well-run machine"! Huge! I was pretty sure meeting them would be out of the question, but one could hope! The day came and I set off to see what one of these places is like. I took with me some things I heard they were looking to send in their next container shipment overseas. I had some school supplies and I wanted to make a donation. I arrived at this enormous brick factory-like building, I pulled into the parking lot, walked up to the door and went toward the office. There was loads and loads of stuff to be packed. I was told their dedicated crew of highly experienced packers could get these containers packed in no time flat and when they finished you'd be lucky to squeeze in an extra piece of paper. Making the most of EVERYTHING was top priority here, by everyone. They are PRO's at making everything count!! They have been at this long enough that nothing at all goes to waste. Incredibly, I got to meet the Founder and the President that day! Unreal!! The timing just happened to be right and they were able to give me a little background of ICF. I learned that the Founder has personally accompanied containers to their destinations. He and the President work directly with the people receiving the donated goods. This is a hard working, dedicated group of folks that does the work of many on a shoestring budget! They have successfully carried this out for many, many years now. I pray you will help this group continue this much needed work of getting supplies, food, medicine, clothing, and goods into the hands of the people that desperately need them!! They have consistently received very very high ratings from Charity Navigator over the years. They are a wonderful charity - please consider helping them to help others.

I was lucky enough to get to know all the good folks involved with this charity and saw myself how all the volunteers worked so hard to load up containers bound for Africa - it was amazing! All the people involved with this wonderful charity give freely of their personal time to ensure that the goods are packed properly and shipped overseas to help those in need. They also showed the local folks in Africa how to dig wells, since water contamination from domestic animals is quite frequent there. They are responsible for providing the poor with mosquito nets so that the spread of malaria can be halted, saving many lives. Yes, this charity is wonderful with the great works that it does for the underprivileged, and the leadership, Dr. Dave Bruenning and Ms. Lori Fulcer are simply amazing people who are totally dedicated to the mission of the charity.

I am personally acquainted with the leaders of ICF and can vouch for their great concern and compassion for the peoples of Africa. They see the need and commit to help, by way of driving wells, taking medicine, filling containers with clothing and food, taking mosquito netting, and on and on. They go into ebola and malaria areas of the world to help the most needy without worrying about self safety. ICF is worthy of my support and yours.

Great charity. Dave and crew still sort and load donations and show you what they do with it.
this is one charity that I know keeps the overhead cost low. A true non profit.

My children love putting together shoeboxes every October to donate to ICF to bless the children they assist with holiday gifts. When we drop the donations off they are so grateful and make our kids feel so good about being giving people. They are a wonderful organization and are well respected in our community.

Please consider taking your clothes, blankets, medical supplies, anything that can be used in 3rd world countries. ICF delivers full semis to many people displaced in camps. We have so much in the USA, and these people have nothing. There are no high paid CEO's, in fact most of the work is done by volunteers. They also take school supplies, books that aren't X rated, pots and pans, bikes. If you have sewing machines that don't need electricity please consider ICF. ICF also sends tons of packaged food over, so they could use any donation.
Just think if you had nothing, what could you use? ICF will send it. It's easy to find - about 1 mile from Hwy 41. No, I am not employed by them, when I found out what they do I try to take items there as the need is great.

Great local charity! Trusted, hardworking and fun group.

As a outside observer and annual contributor to this charity, I am consistently amazed at the work and reach that this organization provides. The ICF exhibits an inordinately high ratio of program services provided against contributions. And the organization accomplishes this with nearly all volunteers, emphasizing Christian principles of serving others to provide basic needs that all people deserve: food, clothing, clean water and a place to live. The ICF is a 4-Star charity in every respect.

Great organization, great people, caring and very money minded, always looking for ways to save and stretch every penny to the max.

Over 99% goes to their programs! Low overhead. Wonderful!

I've been with ICF for over 35 years. As I look back over the years all the people we have helped I am thankful that I could be one to help in this work. Now that we have started to work in Haiti I'm looking forward to doing more work there. ICF has built five homes. Praying that we will be able to continue to build more in the future.

By the grace of God,I (Rev.Boakai B.Paasewe of the Living Word Rural Ministries) have been partnering with ICF over 8 years .I'm so thankful to God for divinely connecting us with them and empowering us in helping to build schools ,churches, providing safe drinking water,building orphanage and reaching out with shipments of relief items to needy communities and institutions in the city and rural communities.The relief items such as food ,medical supplies,vehicles,clothing, and Christmas gifts are great blessings, transforming lives and building brighter future for thousands of unprivileged rural children and meeting the current needs of Ebola victims' children in communities that have been badly hit by this deadly viral disease.
International Children Fund serves with love, integrity and humility. I am greatly honored to support ICF!

I've have never seen such a fiscally responsible charity that goes above and beyond to make sure all donations get to the people they serve. They walk the talk and work tirelessly to do the job! If more people and charities were like them, the world would be a much better place! Blessed to know them!

We have been a neighboring tenant for the past two years and the ICF is such a refreshing organization. Dave, Lori and all the volunteers are excellent and its obvious they care about making a real difference. All of our donations go their way...and so should yours! =)

I believe in ICF 100% because the organization uses their resources fully. Anyone can donate food and medical supplies but ICF follows up to be sure the items donated are getting to the people with the most need. On a personal note, I donated a boat and was actually able to see it in photos and in a report that it was being used to help people in need! To know that what is given is being used by those that it is intended to is what I love about the organization. What a blessing and wonderful cause.

I came across ICF approximately a year ago through a mutual friend and I got involved once I did my homework on ICF and I was impressed. I met Dr. David Bruenning, the Founder, and spoke to Lori, the President, and the two of them are wonderful Christians. What impressed me most about ICF is the monies they receive from donations, the items they collect, go directly toward their missions and I am so happy to be able to partner with ICF. ICF exceeds my expectations of any charity I ever was involved in. I plan to continue to partner with ICF until my Lord and Savior decides to call me home. Thank you Dr. David Bruenning and Lori Fulcer for all you do and to all the volunteers, donors, etc....together we can make a difference and are making a difference. Blessings, Susan

I have been volunteering for years at ICF. Great group of people. Example as of recent. The partners in Liberia re working directly to help feed the Ebola stricken people there so as a result shipping containers to the region have been going out at about the rate of one a week lately to keep supplies flowing. However the BEST part of all. Is the opportunity that they have on the ground to share the salvation found only thru Jesus Christ . Can I get an AMEN!!! :)

This group is committed to their mission, laser focused on helping those in need and above board in all they do. So grateful to work with them and to see others do the same.

I have known Dr. David Bruenning and the work of the International Children's Fund for 30 years. I have been very impressed with the work he and his Board have done over these years. The addition of Lori Fulcer as President of ICF has added to the impressive list of aid and assistance ICF has provided to those who need a helping hand up. This has been accomplished by meeting real needs with real necessities. They have done this work around the world from a small office located in the midwest with people that join them in partnership to make a real difference in the world.

I have known Dr. David Bruenning over 26 years. God has used him in so many ways to help people all over the world and so them Christ thru example. I was shocked to find that he did not draw a personal salary for decades. The money that is donated goes to the causes. Not like some other organizations where you are lucky if 10 cents on the dollar actually makes it to the causes. International Children's Fund is amazing, they do so much...they teach the people how to fish, not just giving them the fish. They drill fresh water wells, teach the locals how to farm and raise livestock. In one case ICF help build a brick factory so that people could sell the bricks to a construction firm, with that money they could build a church a school and more. ICF helps make them self sufficient. Now with Ebola hitting Liberia, ICF is shipping medical supplies and HAZMAT suits and doing all they can to help. ICF walks the talk and they always have!

I have been working with ICF for 10 years and they are the nicest and most caring people I have the honor to know. Their works in West Africa are beyond amazing!!!!!
Dr Dave and Lori have always been my favorite clients and friends !!!

I was so lucky to meet Lori at a small group. She was so amazing and kind! And I found out though a mutual friend she helps with ICF and I immediately wanted to help, I got to help once and wow was it fun we drove in this. Truck up to crivitz area to pick up books to deliver to Africa! It was so nice to know instead of the landfill children somewhere could use these books. ICF has a lot of amazing people volunteering there, you always feel like you have been there before! Love this group of people. I also like the brat frys! A and w fundraiser nights!

I worked with ICF for 6 years before moving to Alabama, and I continue to donate whenever possible. It's an incredible organization that really does make an impact. I have seen the work that goes into it and everyone is completely devoted to the cause. Everything is done with a spirit of charity.

I have been involved with this organization for about 2 years, I have found it to have a love for those they help, and show respect and compassion to all. They are a fun group, yet hard working, very organized and have great relations with other organization they work with to be able to complete their ministry unto the Lord Jesus. They are people of prayer and dedication. I have somewhat known the director, David B. for more than 20 yrs, and find him and this organization faithful in Christ. I so much enjoy being apart of this group.

I have always been very cautious of charities or organizations. The whole pretense of what is said and what really happens too my hard earned money that i want too see do more good for others, ends up in the pockets of the top people in the organization..and helps them build million dollar homes. But that turns me too the reason why i am writing this today. At a time when i was travelling around the US i was able too see many organizations of various types at work. But i had never seen an organization with such a broad understanding of what the needs of so many children under dire circumstances needed..From a piece of clothing too medicine, to a bowl of rice. From books to churches. And the ones that coordinate everything not only make the plans they travel too these destinations too make sure it does. The money goes where the money is stated. It is more than self evident. I would never give too another organization without checking into everything first. And i know IFC welcomes that you do that indeed. I proudly volunteer when i am able. And nothing can replace the joy in my heart when doing so... this is such an amazing organization fighting to provide the needs we here completely take for granted,,

My daughter and I have helped out with ICF. It was great for her to learn more and get an understanding that the world is as she sees it, and their are people hurting for help. With this growl up she was able to get a better understanding and we have attended event they have had. I believe this is a great organization and I would recommend to people as I already have in the past. :)

I have been familiar with this organization for more than 20 years. I do not know of another agency where virtually every penny donated gets to needy children/families in various parts of Africa. The leadership serves with integrity and humility. I am honored to support ICF!

We learned of ICF through Charity Navigator several years ago when we was checking into how various charities utilize their donations. ICF had an amazing rating then and still does today. They have become our favoriate charity. We live about 100 miles away, but have made numerous trips to their facility to deliver donations. They operate on a shoestring using volunteers and donated services. Nearly 99% of everything donated goes directly to those in need. They have established clinics, orphanages, libraries, schools and so much more in several countries in Africa. Each month the volunteers come together and fill a huge shipping container to the brim with donated practical items that many of us take foregranted here, but that are so needed and valued there. These items cross the ocean and go directly to those in need. There are so many ways to help, and our whole family has gotten involved. In the fall each year, we put together 70+ shoebox gifts packed with goodies to go the children in these countries at Christmas. It is a wonderful feeling to know that some child will probably get to open and enjoy their very first Christmas gift. ICF is so effective and efficient. I can't say enough good about them.

I support a hand full of non-profits and International Children's Fund is one that I know every dollar I send for support is going to people that need it the most.

Its a Great organization with dedicated volunteers and through the volunteers efforts and talents over 98% of the money goes directly to the people they are helping. Its hard to find another group that does just that!!

I chose this charity to donate to for many reasons: 1. Its focus on children internationally. 2. Its high rating on charity navigator. 3. Its a local based charity (I live in Wisconsin). 4. 98.6% of its expenses are for the program itself. 5. The CEO only takes 0.06% of expenses as compensation. 6. The other positive reviews written about this charity

I have been involved with ICF for more than 35 years. I can tell you I have never heard of or scene another non-profit organization do so much good with so little finances. Most every thing shipped out is donated or bought very reasonably. The volunteers are phenomenal and there are only two paid employee. God has blessed ICF greatly. This is an organization worth supporting!

I was browsing on the Charity Navigator site and found International Children's Fund. I was so impressed by reading the Presidents salary - a mere $28,000 per year.

I love knowing the donation I give is going directly to those it is meant for.
