Description
About the Southern Institute on Children & Families
The Southern Institute on Children and Families is an independent non-profit organization that improves the well-being of children and families through knowledge, leadership and action. We educate through research of policies, systems and practices. We generate greater awareness and equip community and business leaders and policymakers with knowledge to make informed decisions. Since our establishment in 1990 as a 501(c)(3) public policy organization, we have aggressively pursued our mission to improve opportunities for children and families in the South and also have provided direction and leadership on national programs consistent with our mission.
The Southern Institute utilizes a comprehensive approach in examining our issues of focus and involves key players in development and implementation of effective solutions. The methods and strategies we apply to issues affecting lower-income children and families in the South have consistently led to greater awareness of critical public policy issues, development of promising strategies to address those issues and strong collaborative partnerships poised for action. Information in the 2004 Annual Report provides specific information on current and future initiatives. A general review is provided below.
The Southern Institute believes collaboration with the business community is essential to development of comprehensive approaches and achievement of significant progress on behalf of low-income children and families across our region. Through the Southern Business Leadership Council (SBLC) established by the Southern Institute in 2002, we are working to achieve bold action beneficial to families, employers and communities as a whole. We believe the participation of business leaders elevates the goal of improving the well-being of children and establishes a connection to the strategic growth and development of the southern region.
