Issue Brief: Children's Initiatives Fund
May 8, 2013
This issue brief explains the origins of the Children’s Initiatives Fund (CIF) in Kansas and how the fund is used to support children’s programs, especially those that focus on early childhood, health, mental health and child welfare. The brief also examines how the governor’s budget proposals for fiscal years 2014 and 2015 would use CIF money to reinforce an increased focus on fourth-grade reading programs, but would remove CIF funding for two large programs. Alternative funding exists for one of these programs, the Newborn Screening program, but not the other, the Family Centered System of Care grant for children's mental health. The governor’s budget recommendations keep overall CIF spending level from the previous year.
