The Annie E. Casey Foundation
Founded in 1948, the primary mission of the Annie E. Casey Foundation is to foster public policies,
human-service reforms, and community supports that more effectively meet the needs of today’s
vulnerable children and families. In pursuit of this goal, the Foundation makes grants that help
states, cities, and neighborhoods fashion more innovative, cost-effective responses to these needs.
We thank Annie E. Casey for their support but acknowledge that the findings and conclusions represented
in our reports are those of North Dakota KIDS COUNT alone, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions
of the Foundation.
North Dakota State Data Center
The mission of the North Dakota State Data Center (NDSDC) is to provide objective socio-economic analysis
and to support informed decisions in areas of resource allocation, business management, and public policy
for people of North Dakota and beyond. The NDSDC responds to requests, conducts research, compiles information,
and disseminates research findings to meet the demographic and economic needs of North Dakota. We thank the
NDSDC and its director, Dr. Richard Rathge, for its generous support of our work.
