| Desc | Education: Children Nows education program aims to ensure every child has access to high-quality early learning opportunities, a rigorous TK-12 education, including high-quality STEM, after-school and summer programs, and access to affordable higher education. Through research and analysis, policy development, education and outreach, communications, convenings, and advocacy, we have worked to dismantle inequitable and racially discriminatory systems and achieved the following: led advocacy efforts to secure major new supports for child care, resulting in more than $1.4 billion to support child care providers and a new equitable family fee system to make child care more affordable; helped end inequitable school suspensions, addressing equity concerns associated with the disproportionate rate of suspensions among students of color; continued serving as the backbone organization for the Bay Area STEM Ecosystem and the California STEM Network, where we continued pushing for increased access to high quality STEM education, particularly for underrepresented groups; secured long sought changes to the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), ensuring that the state budget include requirements that school districts explicitly state how their extra LCFF funding will be used to close achievement gaps, identifying actions that will improve outcomes for students and schools with low performance, and establishing goals for the targeted funding schools will receive to address the needs of Black students and track the progress of long-term English learners; championed additional funding to provide $300 million in ongoing resources to support Black student success; successfully launched the Summit for Student Leaders project, aimed at supporting the development, engagement, and connection of well-informed youth leaders and youth-led organizations so that their voices have a stronger impact on policy change at the state and local level; sponsored and advocated for several initiatives to scale and sustain teacher diversity, recruitment, preparation and retention; worked for high quality early childhood and TK-12 bilingual teaching and learning and a policy framework that incorporates accountability and finance structures that elevate the critical need to focus on DLL and EL success; and advocated for funding increases for the UC, CSU and community college systems so that they can meet the student-centered priorities outlined in the UC and CSU Compacts and Roadmap" for California Community Colleges which we supported. | Desc |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Research and Data Collection: Children Nows research program produces comprehensive reports, fact-sheets, info-graphics, and data-driven policy briefs on topics related to our program areas. We produce two marquee publications: 1) the California Childrens Report Card, which is the states most comprehensive report on childrens health, education, and well-being, and provides up-to-date data on the status of Californias children, highlights outcomes disparities resulting from decades of institutional racism, addresses recent policy developments, and delivers research and data-driven recommendations for improving childrens well-being, and 2) the California County Scorecard of Childrens Well-Being, which provides policymakers and a diverse range of community leaders and other stakeholders a unique and consumable analysis with county and state level data over time, by race and ethnicity, and relative to other counties. This interactive on-line advocacy and data tool provides a user-friendly interface so viewers can understand counties unique strengths and vulnerabilities in meeting childrens needs, as well as serious inequities in child well-being. The organization also released several research briefs and data profiles, including: a brief highlighting one-time State Investments for School Mental Health, following the COVID-19 pandemic and the closure of schools; a brief, Supporting Successful Transitions into Adulthood for Youth in Foster Care: Reforming Californias Independent Living Program, that shares background on transition aged youth and current service restrictions, as well as policy and program recommendations to better support these youth; a paper highlighting the findings from focus groups and interviews Children Now conducted with youth, caregivers and other stakeholders in Los Angeles County to better understand their knowledge and opinion of FURS; a data report, extending and updating a previous 2019 info-graphic, showing how kids are faring across Contra Costa County; a brief, Supporting LGBTQ+ Students in California, sharing LGBTQ+ perspectives of their school environments and highlighting where reform is needed; a brief, Californias Youth: A Look at Tobacco, Drug and Alcohol Use, that shared data about California teens and drug use, and key policy recommendations focused on prevention, harm reduction and treatment; a brief, A Statewide Approach to Strengthen Home Visiting in California, that highlights the diverse spectrum of home visiting entities in California, key challenges theyre facing and provides a framework that will support the effective outreach and engagement of families; and a brief, Closing the Loop: Recommendations for Medi-Cal Referral Systems to support Child and Families, which promotes recommendations for the Closed Loop Referral systems that center children and families without placing the burden on parents/caregivers and providers.Our marquee publications and numerous data reports and briefs are widely distributed to the public, including all state and local policymakers, the media, service providers, coalition partners, and civic organizations. These research publications, as well as the outreach efforts, briefings, and widespread media coverage generated by their release, help motivate key stakeholders and policymakers to make childrens issues a top priority, both locally and at the state level. |
