The What’s Possible Fund, initiated by the Children’s Rights Innovation Fund (CRIF), is designed to support youth activists and community organizers working to advance liberation, justice, and the well-being of children and young leaders. The fund aims to promote diverse forms of activism and organizing, especially those focused on historically and systematically marginalized communities.
