About us
Help For Children is committed to the prevention and treatment of child abuse.
Worldwide, 40 million children are subjected to abuse each year. These children, too young and too scared to seek help, can too easily be hidden from view. HFC, the alternative investment community’s charity, is dedicated to eradicating this silent epidemic. The alternative investment community is taking a stand because we CAN end child abuse.

Children in 1998
Help For Children (HFC), founded in 1998 as Hedge Funds Care by financial executive Rob Davis, raises funds to prevent and treat child maltreatment. Initially starting with a fundraising gala in New York City, HFC has expanded globally, hosting events like galas and golf outings that also serve as networking opportunities for the Alternative Investment industry. To date, HFC has invested over $62 million, positively impacting more than 1.2 million lives.

After consultation with leadership at Columbia University School of Social Work, the HFC model was created. Today, HFC has Academic Experts in all locations, guiding grant-making with Grant Committees made up of finance industry professionals. Currently, Mr. Davis serves as Chairman Emeritus of the organization, and remains deeply committed to helping children and families heal from the trauma of maltreatment.
