funding from the Annie E. Casey Foundation.Kids Count Alaska is part of a nationwide program, sponsored by
the Annie E. Casey Foundation, to collect and publicize information about
children’s health, safety, education, and economic status. We gather information
from many sources and present it in one place, to give Alaskans
and others a broad picture of how well the state’s children are doing—and
provide parents, policymakers, and others with information they need to
improve life for children and families. Our goals are:
• Distributing information about the status of Alaska’s children
• Creating an informed public, motivated to help children
• Comparing the status of children in Alaska with that of children nationwide,
