The Council's work appears below broken out by each of its six charges.

Charge 1. Mapping the network of child-serving agencies and organizations in the State.

• North Carolina Past and Present Coordinating Bodies Related to Children's Issues

• Program Database. This database catalogues state-funded programs that provided goods, services, or public assistance with the specific aim of enhancing the health, safety, or well-being of children, youth, or their families in State Fiscal Year 2018–19. To compile this database, Council staff asked agencies and institutions to identify such programs, provide the contact information of staff administering the program, and provide the federal and state funds spent on the program. All program contacts completed an electronic survey in the fall of 2019. The information in this database is self-reported and has not been independently verified. This database is an update to the Program Evaluation Division’s 2011 report Programs for Children, Youth, and Families Need Guiding Framework for Accountability and Funding.
  • Aggregated Data Tables
• Grant Database. This database catalogues grant programs that provided goods, services, or public assistance with the specific aim of enhancing the health, safety, or well-being of children, youth, or their families in State Fiscal Year 2018–19. To compile this database, Council staff identified programs likely to serve these populations from the Office of State Budget and Management’s (OSBM) grants management systems. Agencies and institutions were provided and verified grants meeting this criteria and the corresponding amounts distributed during this time period.
