Results for Children: Annual report 2013

In 2013, thanks to those who invested along with us, we achieved lasting, large-scale results for children here in the United States and around the world. For example, after Oklahoma’s devastating tornadoes, children and families got the crisis care they needed. We enabled dozens of damaged childcare centers to provide quality services again after Hurricane Sandy. Children’s voices were heard on Capitol Hill, and early education finally became a national priority. In the Philippines, we provided typhoon victims with vital supplies and support, and we protected and cared for the children of Syria. Children around the world learned to read and succeed in school. And millions more babies survived the most dangerous day – their birth day.

Results like these require the effective management of significant resources, as reported here for 2013, and we are grateful to the many donors and partners who so generously supported our work. As the largest member of Save the Children’s global movement, Save the Children USA’s financial standing remains very strong, with historic levels of revenue and spending on children’s programming. So we entered 2014 well-positioned to continue investing in childhood.
