For more than 15 years, First Focus on Children has produced our annual Children’s Budget, an analysis of the funding — and therefore the value — that we as a nation place on our children.
On Thursday, October 30, policymakers, experts, and advocates analyzed the report’s findings and its implications for future policy during the Children’s Budget Summit 2025.

Children’s Budget 2025 analyzes the share of spending allocated to kids across more than 250 government programs in the federal budget. First Focus on Children’s annual Children’s Budget is meant to offer U.S. leaders and lawmakers a comprehensive picture of where and how we spend our money on children, and what changes we must make to better prioritize them in federal budget and policy decisions.
