Babies in the Budget 2024 with First Focus on Children

October 09, 2024

NCIT will host First Focus on Children to discuss their Babies in the Budget 2024, providing a comprehensive analysis of the share of spending allocated to children ages 0 – 3 across more than 150 government programs in the federal budget. This analysis tracks domestic spending on infants and toddlers, including both mandatory and discretionary funding across numerous agencies in 11 different departments. Overall, their analysis finds that for the third straight year, the share of federal spending on children ages 0-3 declined, from just 1.98% in FY 2021 to a mere 1.52% in FY 2024.

Learn the data and then let’s discuss what NCIT can do about it together!
