We exist for one purpose: to end childhood poverty.
What We Do
We use comedy and humor to create awareness of the issues facing kids in poverty, and we raise money to fund programs that help them succeed.
WE Raise Awareness and Money
We leverage comedy as a platform to drive awareness of the root causes of poverty, and to make giving a joyful and educational experience. We raise funds through annual comedy events like Comic Relief Live and Stand-up for LA, as well as through annual national fundraising campaigns like Red Nose Day.
We FUND Amazing programs
We find and fund community-based organizations, because we believe the people closest to the problem are the best equipped to deliver what their community needs. We work with organizations with proven models, as well as groundbreaking programs that bring new thinking to solving childhood poverty.
Who we work with
Anyone & everyone
We believe every single person has a role to play in solving poverty. Buy a ticket to a show, make a one-time donation, become a monthly donor, or rally your community to support kids. You can be the difference.
Brands
We partner with loved brands and global storytellers to engage anyone and everyone doing good (while also having lots of fun). Whether it's sponsoring an event or creating a campaign, our partnerships are designed excite your staff, reinforce your CSR strategy, and engage your customers.
Institutions
There’s nothing like a good joke to warm up a crowd. Comic Relief is uniquely positioned to raise awareness and engage people around the challenges facing children in poverty. We partner with institutional funders to shift narratives through campaigns and content, while co-investing in organizations driving change on the ground.
Grantee Partners
Nothing would be possible without our extraordinary partners working tirelessly in the US, and across the globe to serve and uplift kids facing poverty.
