Ending Adverse Placements for Kids: Accelerating Impact Through Funding

Written By Jess Skylar

The Challenge

Ending Adverse Placements (the broader initiative of the Child Welfare Playbook) is expanding their reach:

  • Built transformative approach to child welfare data

  • Secured $3.5M for 2025-2026, needs to close $2.5M funding gap

  • Looking for hands-on support to accelerate fundraising efforts

Our Planned Approach 

Focused monthly partnership including:

  • Create a pipeline with prospective funders including specific inside knowledge

  • Real-time drafting of outreach materials and proposals

  • Direct introductions to potential funders and/or outreach recommendations

  • Hands-on support crafting quick intro materials and editing targeted resources

  • Ongoing thought partnership (as needed) to refine pitch for different audiences

The (Expected!) Impact 

  • Expanded funding pipeline through targeted outreach

  • Clear materials customized for different funding segments

  • Strong network of warm introductions to potential funders

  • New funding for continued impact
