Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF)

The Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF) is devoted to developing a brighter future for millions of children and young people with respect to their educational, economic, social and health outcomes. Our work focuses on strengthening families, building stronger communities and ensuring access to opportunity, because children, youth and young adults need all three to succeed. We advance research and solutions to overcome the barriers to success, help communities demonstrate what works and influence decision makers to invest in strategies based on solid evidence.
