The KIDS COUNT is a well-known, well-respected project of The Annie E. Casey Foundation. Its purpose is to track the well-being of children at both the national and the state levels. All 50 states have a KIDS COUNT project, allowing for state-by-state comparisons of child well-being indicators.
In Nevada, the primary activities of the KIDS COUNT project are to:

collect, analyze, and distribute the best available data measuring the educational, social, economic, and physical well-being of children and youth in Nevada;
educate and inform decision-makers, citizens, service providers, providers of funding, and community partners regarding data, policy, and resource analysis;
provide linkages with community efforts to reach decision-makers with information concerning relevant issues for children and youth.
