• Fund evidence-based and promising programs and initiatives that support children and their families;
• Deepen investments to promote economic security and access to opportunity; and
• Target resources to communities where residents have the greatest needs.

We believe the District should be a place where all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential and achieve their dreams. To do so, we must create and strengthen systems designed to meet the needs of ALL children, eliminate disparities and achieve results.

We invite you to participate in these critical conversations with our government leaders. Review our partner’s Resident’s Guide to the DC Budget, examine the Mayor Bowser’s proposed FY19 budget, and take a look at the Budget Oversight Hearing Schedule to find out when the DC Council will hear testimony. We will post all of our budget testimonies on our website, so you can follow along.  

Our investments today set the foundation for tomorrow, shaping children’s lives and the future of DC.

With gratitude,
Shana
