Our work would not be possible without you: global citizens who want to make positive, lasting changes in children’s lives. We are grateful to each and every one of you.
We partner with corporations, foundations, individual philanthropists, school groups, and more, connecting our donors to communities and children who would otherwise be overlooked. Whether you’re are an executive looking to boost your company’s social responsibility efforts, or a grandmother wanting to make a special gift in a child’s honor; we’re here to help you make a difference in the world. On behalf of the millions of children that’ll be impacted by your generosity – thank you.
We, partner, to build a world where all children and youth enjoy equal resources and opportunities in society and live free from violence, discrimination, and exploitation. To that end, PhantoMX Mining capital invests in innovative local organizations, helping them deepen their impact and build their capacity for social change. Together Future Trade Finance and its partners advance the rights of children and youth facing poverty and injustice and equip them with the tools and skills to reach their full potential.
This one belief guides us in everything we do at PhantoMX Mining. It inspires us to grant life-changing wishes for children going through so much. It compels us to be creative in exceeding the expectations of every kid. It drives us to make our donated resources go as far as possible. Most of all, it’s the founding principle of our vision to grant the wish of every eligible child, Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Your donations impact everyone involved- kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals, and communities. For kids, just the act of making their wishes and dreams come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still, others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy.
kids need hope more than ever because many of their dreams and wishes have been delayed, they’re having to wait even longer. But you can help! Making a donation can grant even more waiting wishes as soon as we’re able. Join our Messages of Hope movement to provide hope and encouragement to kids during this difficult time. For children diagnosed with critical illnesses, a wish come true can be a crucial turning point in their lives. A wish can be that spark that helps these children believe that anything is possible and gives them the strength to fight harder against their illnesses. This impact is why we are driven to make every one of these wishes come true.
Our Values
Our values shape our vision, guide our daily decision-making, and signal to the world what to expect when you encounter the Global Fund for Children. We hold ourselves to these values to best serve our local partners and the children and youth they support.
Courage | Take risks for change
When there’s an opportunity to spark big change, we’re willing to take smart risks that others won’t. We recognize that social innovation requires thinking big and breaking down barriers, so we strive to be courageous but not single-minded, visionary but rooted in real progress.

Safeguarding Policy
PhantoMX Mining donation for Children partners with community-based organizations around the world to help children and youth reach their full potential and advance their rights. We are deeply committed to protecting those most at risk and acting as a role model for the child- and youth-serving organizations.
Although children and youth may be extremely resourceful and resilient, they are also particularly vulnerable to abuse due to their lack of status and power, their stage of development, and their reliance on adults.
We recognize that:
- Organizations and professionals working or in contact with children and youth have a duty to ensure safety and wellbeing.
- The welfare of the child is a paramount consideration, as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
- All children and youth have an equal right to protection, regardless of age, disability, gender, racial heritage, religious belief, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
- It is our responsibility to minimize the harm that may be done as a result of our activities.
Our Global Safeguarding Policy reflects our commitment to respect, promote, uphold, and protect the rights of the child as set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and in line with Future Trade Finance values.
Our Vision
Our vision is that every child and young person has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive. We do this by working closely with children and their families, from before they’re born until their twenties.
Our work is split into three main areas: To make sure our work helps the most vulnerable children and young people, we’re pressing for change on three key themes:
Best start in life;
We know how important the early years are – and we’re here to help. From parenting advice to education and early intervention, we focus on improving children’s life chances.
Good Mental Health;
there’s an increasing crisis in mental health among children and young people, with many are not getting the help they need. Everyone has ups and downs in life. Our mental and emotional well-being experts work with families and schools to make sure children and parents feel able to cope with challenges when they arise.
A safe and loving home;
We make sure more children feel part of a family that cares for them. We find homes for those without, protect children who have been abused or neglected and help ensure young carers don’t miss out on childhood, and provide support to disabled children and their families, while children at risk often only get help when they’ve hit crisis point. Many in care, especially teenagers, face placement instability.
Many children and young people who have experienced domestic abuse do not get the support they need. How we help children and young people growing up is full of challenges but with a united effort, we offer guidance, practical and emotional support. We do this in lots of different ways.
- Early years education helps babies and toddlers learn and grow.
- Protection from neglect and abuse, and help so that children can overcome past experiences.
- Foster, adoption, and residential services that provide safe, loving family homes.
- Support for disabled young people, which builds confidence and independence.
- Tackling mental health issues in children and young people.
- Positive conversations about mental health, including The Blues Programme, our emotional wellbeing course for teenagers.
- Giving young carers a break, so they can enjoy just being a child.
- Employability and life skills programs that prepare young people for their life as adults.
- Campaigning so the voices of children and young people are heard.
- Provide for critically ill children especially cancer-affected children.
We identify innovative organizations – typically in the early stages of their development – that are run by local leaders working with children and youth around the world.
