The Children’s Campaign Network includes Children’s Campaign Fund (a 527 non-federal PAC) and Children’s Campaign Fund Action (a newly launched 501c4). As one of the longest standing nonpartisan PACs focused on children’s issues in the country now paired with an affiliated advocacy arm, the Children’s Campaign Fund Network is in an exciting and ambitious phase of growth and deeper impact on behalf of children, youth, and families statewide.
The Children’s Campaign Network is committed to a holistic agenda promoting the wellbeing of Washington’s children, youth and families. The Children’s Campaign Fund (CCF) is dedicated to electing champions for children, youth, and families, and holding those leaders accountable. Children’s Campaign Fund Action (CCFA) is dedicated to positively affecting policy outcomes and state investments that eliminate racial disparities for children, youth, and families by educating state legislators and other leaders on key issues including basic needs, childcare and early learning, child welfare, intellectual and developmental disabilities, juvenile court reform, youth development, and more.
CHILDREN'S CAMPAIGN FUND (PAC)
MISSION
We are dedicated to electing state leaders who will champion the health, well-being, safety, and learning and development of the children and youth of Washington State, especially those who are under-resourced and have been historically marginalized. We provide a non-partisan, collective voice for the people of Washington to elect state leaders who will prioritize children and their families, represent the communities they serve, and expect to be held accountable.
Washington State prioritizes investments in a thriving present and future for every child and their family, particularly those impacted by racism and poverty. All state leaders recognize that providing for the health, well-being, safety, and learning and development of our children is not optional – it is vital.
