for Budget Advocacy

Groundwork Ohio advances research-proven policies that result in public investment in Ohio’s children ages 0-5. These investments have the potential to create system-wide changes, counteracting economic, racial, and geographic inequities.

It is never too early to invest in a child, but it can be too late.

Our policy expertise is shaped through our three
CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE
that conduct accurate research and gather authentic input on the issues that shape a child's life trajectory.

Dedicated to authentically engaging Ohio parents and families in the policies and practices that impact the healthy development of their young children.

Dedicated to building strong foundations for young children by transforming
systems that advance early learning and promote equity.

Dedicated to advancing policies and programs that increase access to high-quality care and promote health equity for pregnant women and young children.
