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, September 19, policymakers, experts, and advocates analyzed the report’s findings and its implications for future policy at the Children’s Budget Summit 2024 — held this year at the Senate Budget Committee Hearing Room (Dirksen 608).

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.
