Getting to the Source of State Dedicated Funding for Kids
September 18, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
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.
Join us to learn how state dedicated funds can support children and youth as we share highlights from our groundbreaking new paper State Strategies for Sustained Investment in Kids: A Landscape of Dedicated Funding. This first-of-its kind report provides a comprehensive look at dedicated state-level funds for child and youth programs outside of the K-12 school day. Advocates from the states profiled in the paper will discuss the range of approaches states have used to dedicate funding to kids. Webinar attendees will leave with a sense of the decision-making, coalition building, and advocacy that made these wins possible. Learn concrete strategies that state leaders and advocates can use to identify what might work in their own states!
