KIDS COUNT State Organizations

The Annie E. Casey Foun­da­tion funds a nation­wide net­work of state-lev­el KIDS COUNT® (LA INFAN­CIA CUEN­TA™) projects that pro­vide a more detailed, com­mu­ni­ty-by-com­mu­ni­ty pic­ture of the con­di­tion of chil­dren. KIDS COUNT state orga­ni­za­tions improve pro­grams and poli­cies for chil­dren and fam­i­lies by col­lect­ing and report­ing cred­i­ble data and pro­mot­ing the use of data-based advo­ca­cy and com­mu­ni­ca­tions strate­gies. State orga­ni­za­tions with­in the net­work, as well as pri­ma­ry con­tacts, are list­ed below.
