Ignite Philanthropy: Inspiring the End to Violence Against Girls and Boys
Violence against children continues to escalate around the world, despite every country’s commitment to end it. It is endemic, it is fixed to structural drivers, and individuals alone cannot resolve it.
It is power that keeps these structural drivers in place.
At Ignite Philanthropy, we believe that radically different approaches are necessary to achieve a world where this power is rebalanced, violence against children is eradicated and where children and youth exercise their rights, shape their futures, and live in peace.
Ignite Philanthropy is a philanthropic fund that supports bold efforts to ensure every child lives a life free from violence. We enable transformative change from local to global by:
Boosting Organising by lived experience leaders and their allies, especially intergenerational organising (youth and adult), through greater support, resources and capacity.
Disrupting dominant narratives about the changes that are needed, the strategies to achieve them, and the leadership required.
Cultivating alliances by bringing together partners and coalitions, as well as intersecting and interdisciplinary movements, in trust and collaboration.
Harnessing lessons learned from the past and present in order to grow with a better understanding of how change can happen.
