Alaska Children's Trust (ACT) has operated as Alaska’s KIDS COUNT partner since 2016. Alaska Children's Trust is the statewide lead organization focused on the prevention of child abuse and neglect. ACT fulfills three key roles: (1) advocate, (2) convener and (3) catalyst. KIDS COUNT Alaska is part of the Annie E. Casey Foundation's KIDS COUNT Network and is part of ACT's advocacy portfolio. The mission of KIDS COUNT is to ensure child advocates, policymakers, and the public have access to high-quality, unbiased data about child well-being.
