To drive trends in giving choices, and to reflect on larger "kids and society" topics, we will post different blogs throughout the year. Interested in authoring a guest blog? Please contact info@givingforkids.org.
What would it be like if everyone made their giving decisions with the best interests of kids in mind?
For the first time in many years, advocates have a real chance to get something done for children. To take advantage of this opportunity, nonprofits and foundations need to reconsider how they talk about the problems facing kids.
Our research suggests that Americans need this reminder, and that more consistently associating overarching policy with kids—when there's a clear link between the reform and children's wellbeing—is a powerful step toward ensuring we prioritize younger and future generations in politics.
