Kansas Action for Children was founded in 1979 under leadership from the Junior League of Topeka, Junior League of Wichita, Junior League of Johnson & Wyandotte Counties, and the Kansas Children’s Service League. These four organizations came together with a mission to establish an independent voice in the state for Kansas children. Since that time, KAC has grown to become one of the leading child advocacy organizations in the country. Through support from individuals and private foundations, KAC has worked alongside legislators and community leaders to achieve tremendous results on behalf of the 700,000 kids who call Kansas “home.” Our Mission: To shape health, education and economic policy that will improve the lives of Kansas children and families. Our Vision: To make Kansas the best state to raise a child. Our Results: For three decades, Kansas Action for Children has worked alongside lawmakers and citizens to improve the lives of Kansas children and their families. Whether it’s impacting legislation at the Statehouse in Topeka or making sure Kansas children are represented in the halls of power in Washington, D.C., KAC works tirelessly to give our most vulnerable citizens – Kansas children – a voice that is heard. As a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, KAC would not be successful without the generous support of individuals, businesses and private foundations. Thousands of Kansans – like you – have joined together to ensure that KAC’s work continues to make Kansas the best place to live, work and raise a family. Together, we are making the difference for Kansas children, Kansas families and our future.
