Racial Equity

The Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF) is devoted to developing a brighter future for millions of children and young people at risk of poor educational, economic, social and health outcomes. The foundation works to strengthen families, build stronger communities and create opportunities for vulnerable youth across America. The foundation serves kids and families by advancing research, empowering communities and influencing decision makers to invest in evidence-based solutions. Through comprehensive strategies spanning child welfare, juvenile justice, economic opportunity, and community change, AECF addresses systemic challenges facing at-risk children and youth while promoting racial equity and inclusion in all their work.
