Refund the Future: Because the First Five Years Don’t Fund Themselves

Early Childhood Funders Collaborative

Virtual

At a time when key supports for young children are threatened, revenue and tax policy is both the defensive line and the pathway to transformative investments for families.

Join ECFC members from Pritzker Children’s Initiative, Buffett Early Childhood Fund and United Methodist Health Ministry Fund for a discussion with Sarah Pray, Executive Director, Better Taxes for a Better America to explore why revenue is imperative for early childhood, as both the defensive line and the pathway to transformative investments for families.

Attendees will leave with an understanding of:

  • What’s at stake;
  • Why these discussions matter to early childhood program investments;
  • Who the key revenue and tax policy players are, what tools and support they offer, and how these pieces come together in states to build an effective state ecosystem for advancing early childhood investments
  • Examples of how fellow ECFC funders have stepped in strategically, including an ongoing learning opportunity through a new ECFC workgroup.

ECFC members will have the opportunity to build on this discussion at the upcoming Spring member meeting.
