The Partnership for America’s Children engages, empowers, and invests in a network of state and local child advocates who advance transformative, systemic, and equitable policy change for the well-being of every child across the nation.
Partnership for Americas Children’s largest recent grant in the data was $1,162,500 to The Children’s Village in Dobbs Ferry, New York, for child advocacy work. That size signals a funder that supports state and local organizations over time, rather than making only small, isolated awards. Across the recent grant list, the foundation backs child advocacy groups, children’s alliances, and policy-focused nonprofits that work on child welfare, early childhood education, child care, health coverage for children, mental health for children, and family economic security. The pattern is consistent: grantees are organizations such as NC Child in Raleigh, North Carolina, Children’s Action Alliance in Phoenix, Arizona, Colorado Children’s Campaign in Denver, Colorado, and Voices for Virginia’s Children in Henrico, Virginia. The grant descriptions are centered on supporting child advocacy work, which points to a grantmaker oriented toward advocacy infrastructure and policy change. Partnership for Americas Children operates as a public charity with national giving scope and a portfolio that connects statewide advocates to child well-being outcomes. Its recent awards also include organizations serving foster youth, early childhood coalitions, and human services advocates, reinforcing a focus on systems change for children and families.
Partnership for Americas Children gives across several child-focused policy areas, but the recurring thread is advocacy. In child welfare and protection, it supported The Children’s Village with $1,162,500 in 2023 and $316,030 in 2024, both for child advocacy work. In state-level child policy, NC Child received $297,000 in 2023 for the same purpose. The foundation also funds organizations tied to early childhood education and child care.
