Head Start children with Medicaid in the Virgin Islands

Anna Scarbriel, Director

USVI KIDS COUNT is an initiative of the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI). Funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, KIDS COUNT tracks the status of children state by state in the US and in participating US territories. Our mission is to ensure the highest quality of life for both the present and future generations in the U.S Virgin Islands. Gathering data from local agencies and organizations, and drawing from the Virgin Islands Community Survey, CFVI has compiled and published the USVI KIDS COUNT Data Book report annually since 2000. Through KIDS COUNT, CFVI works with community partners towards strategies driven by facts, evidence, analysis, results, and heightened standards of political and public accountability for children and families.

Created to serve donors and non-profit organizations of the US Virgin Islands, CFVI is committed to building a growing collection of permanent funds and using the income to enhance the educational, physical, social, cultural, and environmental well-being of the Territory’s residents. CFVI was established in 1990 with a $500,000 endowment, grown now to over $12 million.

Today, CFVI manages more than 100 named funds, administers scholarships and awards programs, and coordinates the establishment of memorial funds ... awarding approximately $3 million in annual grants, awards, and scholarships throughout the Territory. CFVI is managed by a professional staff and governed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of Virgin Islands community leaders.
CFVI is a 501(c)(3)public charity.
