Ensuring that all children in the United States have the opportunity to grow and thrive requires significant public spending at all levels of government. With major federal investments for kids set to decline in the coming years, advocates need to explore new strategies to maintain, sustain, and expand support at the state level. One promising approach is creating state dedicated funds—public revenue streams set aside by state legislatures or voter approval to support programs and services for children and youth. 

In this webinar, Children’s Funding Project showcases a first-of-its-kind report, State Strategies for Sustained Investment in Kids: A Landscape of Dedicated Funding, that outlines strategies to help advocates, policymakers and community leaders create these types of dedicated funds to support children and youth in their own states. The webinar showcases insights from the advocates who made these wins possible!
