What Does CDF Do?
Well into our fourth decade, we are still leading the cause for children and renewing our organization for the future. To achieve our vision for children, our three-year strategic plan focuses on four priorities for children:
- The Health Coverage for All Children Campaign to secure comprehensive health and mental health coverage for every child and pregnant woman;
- The Cradle to Prison Pipeline® Campaign to stop the funneling of tens of thousands of youth down life paths that often lead to prison;
- Developing youth leaders who will become the next generation of child advocates; and
- Ending child poverty and stabilizing families.
We identify what children need and champion what works.
