Overview

Child sexual abuse is preventable. This fact drives and inspires our support to end child sexual abuse online and offline. Our partners are survivors, advocates, and researchers working to accelerate action at the community, national, and global levels.

To pursue our vision and support our partners’ work, we have divided our grant-making into six priority funding areas that focus on evidence & solutions and accountability. These include: (1) Solution and research; (2) Men and boys; (3) Safe digital environment; (4) Safe sports; (5) Justice for survivors; and (6) Survivor-led organisations.

We also fund strategic opportunities including support for networks that strengthen the movement to end child sexual abuse, survivor groups, and other catalytic or time-bound initiatives. We work in two teams: solutions & evidence and accountability.


Our programme grant-making in 2023

We made 53 grants totalling USD 43.18 million

Sexual violence against children is a global pandemic. One in five girls and one in 13 boys experience sexual violence. It happens everywhere, and across all socio-economic groups, with devastating and lifelong consequences for individuals, their families, and society. At Oak Foundation, we believe that sexual violence against children is preventable. In this video, we speak to a range of experts from around the world to find out how. This work falls under Oak’s Prevent Child Sexual Abuse (PCSA) programme. You can find out more about the programme by clicking here.
