About Us
Investing in Our Future, One Community at a Time
When we fight for the next generation, the impact extends far beyond children. We strengthen families, build healthier neighborhoods, and lay the groundwork for a more just and vibrant future. Funding the Next Generation equips local leaders and coalitions to organize and advocate for increased, dedicated public funding for children and youth through local ballot measures and other budget policies.
Because while we know that kids need quality care, safe spaces, and strong support systems to thrive, we also know none of it is possible without public dollars.
This is a fight to make sure our budgets reflect our values. A fight that builds local power, brings people together, and changes the way decisions are made. The result is sustainable, community-driven funding that supports what matters most: our kids. These dollars fuel everything from after-school programs and youth mental health services to family support and early childhood education—resources that create lasting impact.
Our work is rooted in community and driven by the belief that when we invest in children and youth, everyone benefits. Because strong communities don’t just happen. They’re organized, funded, and fought for.
