Description
CDF provides a strong, effective voice for all the children of America who cannot vote, lobby or speak for themselves. We pay particular attention to the needs of poor and minority children and those with disabilities. CDF educates the nation about the needs of children and encourages preventive investment before they get sick, into trouble, drop out of school, or suffer family breakdown.
CDF began in 1973 and is a private, nonprofit organizaiton supported by foundation and corporate grants and individual donations. We have never taken government grants.
