A new report from the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation explores the challenges and lessons learned during the evolution of Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families into an anchor institution in Arkansas. It tells the story of the tough issues that ACCF has taken on in the state and the ways the organization has influenced public policy that has improved the lives of children and families in Arkansas. The foundation says the report is an opportunity to document the work of AACF and to reflect together on our ability to impact, influence, and leverage resources for positive change in Arkansas.
The report, Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families: Affecting Policy and Programming, is the second in a series of "Partners in Progress" publications, will be released in central Arkansas and northwest Arkansas as part of two events hosted by Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families in November.
