Funding the Next Generation
A Children’s Fund Campaign Manual
This manual starts where our other manual leaves off. It is a guide to creating a local children’s fund through the ballot - giving local voters the opportunity to directly allocate funds to children and youth services. It covers getting started, building your campaign, voter communication and how to put it all together. It is not intended as a substitute for professional consultation from lawyers and campaign consultants. Funding the Next Generation and our network of advocates, consultants and advisors are available to help you take the next steps on the road to a successful campaign.
