New Hampshire Kids Count is dedicated to improving the lives of all children by advocating for public initiatives that make a real difference.

We take courageous positions.

As the only independent multi-issue child advocacy organization in the state, our allegiance is to children and children only.

We make things better.

We create system-wide change to make our state the best place to be a kid by strengthening our government, businesses, communities and families every day.

We bring people together.

We rally partner organizations and individuals to work collectively for change. Every year, we develop and promote a timely child-focused agenda for state lawmakers.

We are motivated by the facts.

We believe that what gets measured gets changed. NH Kids Count uncovers insightful data on the well-being of all New Hampshire’s children and shares it through the most comprehensive reference of its kind, the NH Kids Count Data Book. We put this data in a national context through our partnership with the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

Together with you, we raise questions, seek answers, foster conversations, and advocate for changes to make New Hampshire the best place to be a kid.
