Mission

Children's services fund ('csf') is an innovative way to support child well-being projects. While we are funded by a jackson county sales tax, we are a stand-alone organization led by an independent board. (continued on schedule o)we are committed to community equity. Our board is balanced to reflect our county, and we work to educate and support all applicants, so everyone, including small organizations and first-timers, has a fair shot at funding. We believe in fresh solutions, constant progress and collaboration. Our work allows us to see the whole-county picture, so we can connect like-minded partners and promote new collaborations.csf strives to be ethical, accountable, innovative, collaborative and inclusive.

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
