Save the Children maximises the benefits to children by managing our income and expenditure as effectively as possible.

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.

To improve our cost-effectiveness, the International Save the Children Alliance works together with partner organisations where feasible. We spend as much money as possible 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. The International Save the Children Alliance is working together to align our financial processes, planning and reporting. This will allow us to focus more on working for children.
