Kansas Action for Children is a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy organization focused on shaping health, education, and economic policy to improve the lives of Kansas children and families. Based in Topeka, Kansas, and founded in 1979 through collaboration among several Kansas-based child advocacy groups, it positions itself as a voice for Kansas children at both the state and federal levels, working alongside legislators and community leaders to address the needs of about 700,000 Kansas kids. The organization emphasizes evidence-based policy work and relies on support from individuals, private foundations, and businesses to sustain its efforts, aiming to make Kansas a better place to raise a child. In recent years, it has released annual data reports such as the Kansas KIDS COUNT Data Book, reflecting its role in monitoring child well-being across economic, education, and health dimensions.
