FNG’s mission is to increase dedicated funding for children and youth in local jurisdictions (specifically cities and counties) throughout California, with a focus on using the ballot to create the funds. Inspired by California’s first and largest Children and Youth Fund in San Francisco through campaigns led by FNG’s Founder and current Director, FNG builds the capacity of city and county coalitions and leaders to work in the political area, works to build a movement to advance budget equity for children and youth in California, and continues to develop the theory and educational materials to help guide that movement.
