About Us

We are the charitable foundation that oversees all of IKEA’s global philanthropy. We fund dozens of programmes run by large and small organisations to make life better for children living in extreme poverty.

Our vision
We’re working toward a world where children living in poverty have more opportunities to create a better future for themselves and their families.

Our mission
Our mission is to create substantial and lasting change by funding holistic, long-term programmes in developing countries that address children’s fundamental needs: home, health, education and a sustainable family income.

Our impact
Thanks to IKEA’s dedicated co-workers and customers, 100 million children will benefit from our currently funded programmes by 2015.

In 2012 alone, we:

donated € 82 million
supported 20 partners with grants benefitting children in 28 countries
raised € 9.3 million through our Soft Toys for Education campaign for UNICEF and Save the Children.
