2026 is a record-breaking year for voter-approved children’s funds, with measures to create new funds dedicated to kids on the ballot in more communities than ever before. From Kalamazoo to San Antonio, states and communities have been deliberating on whether $235 million in local revenue will be dedicated to kids this year. Get more details on both approved legislation and ongoing measures that are coming up in the next election cycle in our latest blog, “Record Number of Dedicated Children’s Funds to Appear on Local Ballots.”

Join us on Tuesday, December 8 from 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time to hear from the advocates behind this year’s voter-approved children’s fund campaigns. Panelists will share insights and lessons learned from their campaign successes and the challenges they overcame along the way. Webinar attendees will learn how this diverse collection of communities (rural and urban, Republican and Democratic, large and small) built and mobilized coalitions of motivated supporters, crafted community-informed policy, and led full-fledged ballot measure campaigns asking voters to dedicate public revenue to kids.

Children’s Funding Project staff will then look at the big picture to explore what this year’s results mean for the children’s funding movement, share how we supported these campaigns, and point to ways you can keep learning from experts in the field, including at the 2027 Children’s Funding Institute. Whether you’re imagining a children’s fund in your community, already building a coalition, or simply curious about how local advocates are winning new resources for kids, you’ll leave with real-world lessons and fresh inspiration for the road ahead
