Funding
Every Child Succeeds is made possible through the generous support of many financial partners. Approximately 60 percent of funding comes from public sources through participation in the Ohio Help Me Grow and Kentucky HANDS programs. In Ohio, sources of public funding include Temporary Assistance to Needy Families; Part C; and General Revenue Funds. These funds are provided by the county Family and Children First Councils and the Hamilton County Department of Jobs and Family Services. In Kentucky, sources of public funds include Medicaid and Tobacco Settlement dollars, provided by the Northern Kentucky Department of Public Health District.
Funding from private sources composes 40 percent of Every Child Succeeds' budget. The United Way of Greater Cincinnati contribution of $2.5 million represents the largest component of these funds. Other sources include Butler County United Way and numerous individual and corporate donations.
Charitable contributions make a tremendous impact in the lives of mothers and families, who receive the program's services at no charge. When you support Every Child Succeeds, you make it possible for more mothers to provide a healthy, nurturing home for their children. Current funding allows the program to reach only about 28 percent of eligible families system wide (and 20 percent in Hamilton County), the waiting list is usually more than 100 families. Additional funding would enable Every Child Succeeds to reach more families in Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Every Child Succeeds is a 501(c)3 organization, and all gifts are tax deductible.
