Global Foundation for Girls (GFG) is an intermediary, advocate, resource provider, and network for community organizations that work with girls, gender-diverse youth, birthing persons, children in crisis and their families.
We currently have four funds:

- Birth & Health Justice
- Children in Crisis
- Family Justice
