Federal budget and policy decisions have real and immediate effects on the lives of America’s children. Yet the needs of our children are not always foremost on the federal agenda. First Focus is a bipartisan advocacy organization affiliated with America’s Promise Alliance that is committed to making children and their families a priority in federal policy and budget decisions.

The America’s Promise Alliance is the nation’s largest multi-sector collaborative dedicated to the well-being of children and youth. The Alliance leads the way in forging multi-sector partnerships, bringing together:

Businesses
Youth-serving organizations
Elected officials
Educators
Faith groups
Funders
Individuals of all ages

Our Alliance Partners dedicate themselves to work jointly for the success of our young people, using the Five Promises framework to shape their efforts and improve the odds for youth. Together, Alliance partners are working on our National Action Strategies to deliver more of the Five Promises to 15 million children in the next five years.
