The 32nd edition of the Annie E. Casey Foundation's KIDS COUNT Data Book describes how children across the United States were faring before — and during — the coronavirus pandemic. This year’s publication continues to deliver the Foundation’s annual state rankings and the latest available data on child well-being. It identifies multi-year trends — comparing statistics from 2010 to 2019. In addition, the report shares data on how families endured the pandemic, sharing data from the Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey. Access the report.

The 2021 KIDS COUNT® Data Book offers a national look at the well-being of America's children and families by exploring how states are performing on key data indicators. For advocates, journalists and policymakers, our collection of national and state media-focused resources offer important insights provided by the data and the expertise of the Foundation and its KIDS COUNT Network.

The 2021/2022 Child abuse and neglect Prevention Guide has been released!

Child Welfare Information Gateway is pleased to inform you that the 2021 NCAPM microsite is now live! The microsite has been redesigned with a new look and feel. It continues to offer resources to help spread the word about the importance of preventing child abuse and neglect and features new content pages focused on this year’s child maltreatment data and foundational information on protective factors and adverse childhood experiences.
 
Last but certainly not least, the microsite highlights the all-new 2021/2022 Prevention Resource Guide: Thriving Children & Families. The guide continues to be rooted in the protective factors but now brings to the forefront how families, neighborhoods, communities, and States are successfully using them to protect children, strengthen families, and promote well-being. This year’s prevention resource guide also offers brand-new conversation guides that help service providers have personalized conversations with families about the six protective factors. Anyone looking for the previous resource guide and its resources can visit the Protective Factors Toolkit.

0 Comments

​Purpose: Each year, the Louisiana Children’s Trust Fund (LCTF) releases a statewide funding opportunity announcement (FOA) to community stakeholders for programmatic and conference reimbursement grants. Grant applications received are first evaluated by the Executive Director for compliance with LCTF requirements. Applications that meet the requirements are then randomly assigned to a volunteer grant review team who are responsible for independently reviewing and scoring the individual applications. The three scores are combined and an average composite score determined. The scores are forwarded to the LCTF Board of Directors’ Grant Review Committee which makes recommendations to the LCTF’s Board of Directors. Those recommendations are then forwarded to the Louisiana Children’s Cabinet for final approval.

Who’s Eligible: Grant reviewers are typically individuals with a child and family or education related background that possess a bachelor’s degree or higher and are willing to commit the necessary time to thoroughly review no more than 5 grant applications. The average grant application is no more than 10-12 pages and usually takes between 30-60 minutes to review and score.

Expectations of Reviewers:
  • Attend a 1-hour virtual training session
  • Sign a confidentiality and consent form
  • Commit to review and submit scores for the assigned applications by the deadline provided by LCTF
  • Comply with LCTF grant review policies

If you have questions and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at 225.342.2245 or via email at Katina.Semien@la.gov.
