The Schumann Fund grant to Advocates for Children of New Jersey supports their work to protect current investments in early care and education and make the case for increased investments for low income children across the state. ACNJ’s “Right From the Start” initiative calls for parents, the public and private sectors to work together to ensure that children’s needs are met so they can “start off strong,” “thrive by five,” and be “great at eight.”
