Mission and programs · 2022

KAC'S SUCCESS IS MEASURED BY THE ABILITY TO MAGNIFY OTHERS' WORK AND BUILD THE POWER NEEDED FOR POSITIVE CHANGE. KAC ADVOCATES FOR INVESTMENT IN EARLY LEARNING AND CHILD CARE SYSTEMS, CHILDREN'S HEALTH PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICAID AND CHIP, AND ACCESS TO CRITICAL SUPPORTS INCLUDING FOOD ASSISTANCE, HOME VISITING, AND TIMELY IMMUNIZATIONS. KAC BRINGS TOGETHER OTHER ADVOCATES FOR POLICY ADVOCACY AND GRASSROOTS MOBILIZATION TO SUPPORT CHILDREN'S CRITICAL EARLY YEARS.

  Expenses $128,560

• KAC'S BUDGET AND REVENUE PROJECT CENTERS ON THE BELIEF THAT FOR KIDS AND FAMILIES IN KANSAS TO THRIVE, THE STATE MUST FINANCIALLY SUPPORT CRITICAL SYSTEMS AND PROGRAMS. KAC RESEARCHES, ANALYZES, AND ADVOCATES FOR EQUITABLE TAX POLICY THAT REDUCES WEALTH INEQUALITY FOR KANSANS, ESPECIALLY FOR LOW-INCOME KANSANS AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. KAC CREATES PUBLICATIONS AND FACILITATES EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH CAMPAIGNS TO HELP KANSANS BETTER UNDERSTAND AND ADVOCATE FOR RESPONSIBLE TAX POLICY.

• KIDS COUNT PROVIDES LEGISLATORS, PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND CHILD ADVOCATES WITH RELIABLE DATA, POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS AND TOOLS TO ADVANCE POLICIES THAT BENEFIT CHILDREN. AS KANSAS' KIDS COUNT PARTNER, KAC HAS COLLECTED INDICATORS FOR EARLY LEARNING, CHILDREN'S HEALTH, AND FAMILY ECONOMIC SECURITY FOR DECADES. WHEN SHIFTS OCCUR, KAC EXPLORES THE CHANGES. WHEN POSSIBLE, KAC DISAGGREGATES DATA BY RACE AND ETHNICITY AND WORKS ALONGSIDE COMMUNITIES OF COLOR TO CONTEXTUALIZE THE FINDINGS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND ANY DISPARITIES. KAC PARTNERS WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE STATE TO SHARE COUNTY-BY-COUNTY KIDS COUNT INFORMATION AND COLLABORATES WITH COMMUNITIES AND LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND COUNTY-LEVEL DATA. THIS COLLABORATION ENHANCES THE ABILITY TO RECOMMEND POLICY SOLUTIONS THAT ARE INFORMED BY THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF KANSANS AND THAT WILL IMPROVE CHILD WELL-BEING.

  Expenses $68,705

• OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS INCLUDE THE EDUCATION OF POLICYMAKERS AND CONSTITUENTS ON CHILD WELL-BEING, DEVELOPING STATE-LEVEL POLICY THAT BENEFITS CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AND BUILDING THE BASE OF CITIZENS ACROSS THE STATE WHO SPEAK OUT ON THEIR BEHALF.

As filed on the 2022 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
