The Childhood Table Collective
A transparent, grassroots fund supporting nutrition, shelter, and education for children worldwide. Where every seat matters.
About the Initiative
At The Childhood Table™, we believe that every child deserves nourishment, safety, and opportunity. This global fund supports grassroots projects that serve children with real, tangible impact — no middlemen, no overhead, just direct action where it’s needed most. At MILESTONE®, we don’t have millions in revenue or massive teams. But we have something most corporations have lost: a sense of responsibility that’s personal.
We created The Childhood Table™ because we believe children should never have to fight for food, safety, or dignity. And yet millions do — every single day. This isn’t charity for show. It’s about sharing what we have — even when it’s not much — because the less you have, the more it matters to give. We commit 5% of every product sale to support grassroots child-focused projects — calculated after covering delivery and import costs, which we always include for our customers.
We don’t do this for praise.
We do it because we believe every child should have a seat at the table — and we’re setting it, one act at a time.
What Makes The Childhood Table™ Different
We manage all donations through Open Collective — a transparent platform where you can see every contribution, every allocation, and every funded project in real time. We chose Open Collective because it’s transparent by design and aligns with our values — open, honest, and community-driven. View Our Collective →
Every Cent Reaches the Children
No overhead, no detours. 100% of your support goes straight to grassroots partners helping children — not to us, not to branding. Just action.
You See Every Transaction
We use Open Collective so you can track every donation, every allocation, in real time. Full transparency isn’t a promise — it’s our practice.
No Logos, No Ego — Just Impact
This fund isn’t about us. No product tie-ins, no marketing fluff. We stay invisible so children can be seen, nourished, and safe.
We don’t just talk about change — we fund it, transparently and directly.
Who We Support — Real People, Real Impact
At The Childhood Table™, we choose partners who are on the ground, making change happen — not sitting in offices. Each of these initiatives is vetted, community-driven, and laser-focused on child welfare, nutrition, and empowerment.
These are the three initiatives we support today — part of a rotating fund that enables us to reach more children in more places, with partners rooted in local action and global relevance.
Mary’s Meals (Africa)
Provide daily school-based meals to children in underserved regions, ensuring no child is too hungry to learn. Food security starts with consistent nourishment — this program brings dignity and opportunity to the classroom.
Gawad Kalinga (Philippines)
Build community kitchens and food gardens to fight malnutrition and hunger at the local level. They believe in food sovereignty — helping families grow, cook, and share food sustainably, with dignity and independence.
Earth Guardians (USA)
Empower youth to lead on climate action, education, and justice, giving young people the tools to protect their future. We’ve seen what those who “know best” have done. Kids lead with innocence — and they deserve that chance.
Our partners may be small — but they’re powerful. And your support helps them grow.
Follow Every Step — See Your Impact
Every contribution is publicly recorded on Open Collective, our trusted platform for transparency and accountability. You can track every cent — from your purchase to the funded project — in real time. We invite you to explore our public ledger, see which partners received support, and follow how real impact is created.
What Responsibility Really Means to Us
We created The Childhood Table™ Collective because giving back is part of our ethos. At MILESTONE®, we believe business should nourish lives — and stand accountable for the impact it creates.
That’s why the fund is simple by design: transparent, grassroots, and hosted on Open Collective, so every action is visible and every cent accounted for.
It's a table where every child is seen, and every seat matters.
