The mission of Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families is to ensure that all children and their families have the resources and opportunities to lead healthy and productive lives and to realize their full potential. We:
- Serve as a voice for children at the Arkansas State Capitol and in Washington, D.C.
- Gather and analyze data to support public policy that serves all children and families.
- Organize coalitions of diverse groups to drive change.
That's why we started this fundraiser on Pure Charity. Every penny of this goes to fund AACF's research and advocacy.
- AACF supported ARKids First
which REDUCED THE UNINSURED RATE for children from 23% in 1998 to just
4% in 2018.
- AACF helped create
the school breakfast program so NO STUDENT GOES HUNGRY.
- AACF helped BAN
CORPORAL PUNISHMENT for students with special needs.
- AACF's work helped BAN MOST EXPULSIONS of children in elementary school.
- AACF's work helped defeat measures to scale back the state MINIMUM WAGE.
- 1 in 4 kids in Arkansas
live in poverty. AACF is their VOICE at the state Capitol.
- Join AACF to help COUNT EVERY CHILD in the 2020 Census.
- Children can't vote, lobby, or donate to campaigns. We are THEIR VOICE.
Thank you for helping us make a difference!
