Children, Incorporated (CI) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) international child sponsorship organization based in Richmond, Virginia.
Children, Incorporated was founded in 1964 by Jeanne Clarke Wood, daughter of the noted philanthropists Dr. and Mrs. J. Calvitt Clarke. After personally witnessing the deprivation of children in Guatemala, Ms. Wood began writing letters and seeking assistance for the 95 children she met on her journey. This became the first Children Incorporated project.
Thanks to past and current supporters around the globe, Children Incorporated now has over 300 projects in 23 countries which serve over 15,000 children annually. To date, over 250,000 children have been provided opportunities for growth and education and experienced the support and encouragement Children Incorporated programs provide.
Children Incorporated envisions a world in which each and every child has the education, resources, and opportunity to build a better life.
