These efforts aim to keep policymakers, community members, and advocates informed about issues affecting children and families in Rhode Island[2][3]. Key objectives include promoting equity and accountability in policies affecting children's lives.
History and Funding
Rhode Island KIDS COUNT was established in 1994 as an initiative of the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the Rhode Island Foundation. It became an independent nonprofit in 1997. The organization receives significant funding support from the Rhode Island Foundation and the United Way of Rhode Island, as well as from other local and national foundations, corporate sponsorships, and individual donations[2].
