Editor's Note
Money, money,
money. You can't do much good without funding. So in this edition of the Update, we're bringing you guidance and opportunities, good Web sites and e-newsletters
to help you stay current on funding possibilities and our best wishes for success
in funding all the good work that you do. The Update will be on vacation in August, publishing only brief round-ups of breaking news in the child and youth field.  We'll return in September
with our regular Updates -- and our new, improved (merged) SparkAction site! Enjoy the summer and keep working for kids, everyone, Jan Richter, CFK editor emeritus jan@connectforkids.org
CFK gathers, synthesizes and promotes the best news, research, and stories from the child and youth field. To suggest content, email weekly@connectforkids.org. |
 CFK's Toolkit for Funding
