Comic Relief

Our Mission

Comic Relief believes comedy isn’t just entertainment — it’s action. By using the power of comedy to spotlight poverty’s impact on kids, we educate people everywhere about its causes and solutions, and inspire donations to fuel partners working in communities to create lasting change. Through our programs, we support initiatives that provide safety and housing, better health, stronger education, and economic opportunities so kids can thrive. Since our founding, we have raised more than $447 million and helped over 50 million children and families across the U.S. and around the world.
