Since the year 2000 The World’s Children’s Prize Program has educated and empowered close to 50 million children as changemakers in its annual program.
The WCP program is run by Swedish non-profit the World’s Children’s Prize Foundation (WCPF). We receive funding from several bodies including the Swedish Postcode Lottery, ForumCiv and Sida (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency), H.M. Queen Silvia’s Care About the Children Foundation, The Julia & Hans Rausing Trust and the Survé Family Foundation. The WCPF has received the highest possible rating in the annual review of non-profit organisations carried out by Charity Ratings. The WCPF is tax-exempt and vetted annually by The Swedish Fundraising Control.
