OUR FOCUS AREAS
We support programs to help children achieve their fullest potential
The Children’s Board primarily invests dollars through a competitive grant award process to address four strategic focus areas.
In 2024, the Children’s Board successfully led the largest funding release in its 37-year history. The Children’s Board evaluates the collective impact and outcomes of our funded programs. In 2024, a total of 152 programs were funded to address the needs of our community. This past year, we funded 22 additional programs as well as expanded 16 existing programs through additional funding opportunity.
HOW WE MEASURE SUCCESS
The Children’s Board promotes accountability through our performance measurement efforts. From gathering information based on local and national research to regularly listening to community stakeholders and program participants, we rely on these insights to help guide our strategic focus. Our funded programs strive to achieve selected outcomes from the four focus areas that are based on the specific services they provide and the participants they serve. To achieve the maximum impact of our funding, the Children’s Board and our funded partners:
– Provide high-quality services that utilize best practices and evidence-based programming
-Collect and analyze data from research-based measurement tools
-Work in partnership to evaluate overall effectiveness throughout the year
-Maintain ongoing communication with families to improve services
