Organizations Statewide Win Grants to Use Data to Promote Children’s Health
Last fall, kidsdata.org launched a pilot program to offer grants to organizations statewide that want to make better use of children’s data in their work. Our goal: To encourage creative strategies for using data to bring attention to key issues facing children, and to promote the use of data in efforts to improve children’s lives.
Interest was strong; we received dozens of worthy proposals from across the state. We ultimately chose 14 proposals, all of which are for approximately $10,000. The grants will be used for a range of purposes, including data analysis and development, training and education, and public information campaigns. Much of the data to be used in the projects will come from kidsdata.org, and the grants will serve children across the state, from Shasta County to Stockton to San Diego. See the full list of grantees >>
As we begin to see results from these grants over the next year, we’ll showcase the projects on kidsdata.org and through this blog. And while this program is a pilot, we encourage you to sign up to be notified of any future kidsdata.org grant opportunities.
