Public Financing in Times of Uncertainty
In this hour-long webinar, we highlight remedies for responding to the current uncertain political climate and highlight actionable steps that state and community leaders can take to sustain their hard-fought progress in organizing, securing, and maintaining public resources for kids.
Leaders and Champions: The Role of Funders in Strategic Public Financing
Funders offer unique capabilities to help states and communities explore sustainable funding strategies for children and youth. Current threats to federal funding make these philanthropic partners more important than ever.
Our robust Federal Funding Streams for Children and Youth Services database provides a detailed and comprehensive view of how the federal government has supported children and youth in every state, and what recent cuts could mean. As federal funding insecurities continue to mount, we remain diligent in offering support across a robust landscape of strategic public financing solutions. From constructing a state or local fiscal map that uncovers who invests how much money and into what, to support for cost modeling through courses and cohorts, to design and support for a voter-approved children’s fund, we are in this together striving for the best possible future we can provide to all kids.
