State and Local Fiscal Maps

A fiscal map is a tool for analyzing public spending at the city, county, state or federal level. Children's Funding Project supports these analyses to better understand investments in children and youth.  Also called a children’s budget analysis, these maps help establish a clear understanding of  the existing web of funding streams that support child- and youth-focused programs and services. Communities can then take steps to better align this funding or generate new funds to fill gaps.

See the chart of all currently-existing fiscal maps, including links to the maps themselves, at this link. If you have already completed a children’s budget analysis, please email us at kylie@childrensfundingproject.org so we can add you to the map and chart.
