This interactive chart, which is a companion to our Federal Funding Streams for Children and Youth Services database, shows how federal funding for children and youth flows through federal agencies and into local communities. It documents the paths taken by various general funding, tribal funding, and COVID relief funding streams as the dollars make their way from the federal government to the children and youth programs that ultimately receive the money.
