Gold Standard Vetting

What makes the World of Children unique is our rigorous vetting process. We thoroughly review each candidate to ensure they meet Gold Standard criteria.




Heroes Don’t Just Look Good on Paper

Honorees of the World of Children Award work on the ground leading sustainable programs and must have a proven track record of success. A private agency performs on-site investigation and independent audit of each final applicant.


These investigators ensure that our Awards go only to the finest child advocates, and our donors can trust that every dollar invested will be used for quality programs serving children in need.
