The International Children's Fund is a charitable Christian organization based in Neenah, Wisconsin that focuses on aiding indigenous people in Africa.
Organization History.
The non-profit organization was founded in 1978 by theologian David Bruenning, who traveled internationally to train pastors in the Christian faith. He was introduced to local communities and felt the need to assist populations living in poverty. The organization relies on a network of pastors in local villages to identify the greatest needs in their immediate communities.
The International Children's Fund relies primarily on volunteers to carry out its work. More than 30 volunteers now process more than $8 million and $10 million in donated goods annually from American contributors, which are shipped to countries throughout the African continent. Because of its reliance on volunteers, the organization operates with low overhead. In 2013, more than 98 percent of donations went directly to program services. In 2021 more than 99.7% of revenue and support (excess of 68 million) has gone directly to program services.
