Rhode Island KIDS COUNT is a children's policy and information project that provides credible information on child well-being, stimulates dialogue on children's issues, and promotes accountability and action to improve the economic well-being, health, safety, and education of Rhode Island children.

Primary funding for the Rhode Island KIDS COUNT is provided by the Rhode Island Foundation and The Annie E. Casy Foundation with additional support from other corporate and foundation sponsors.

The annual Rhode Island KIDS COUNT Factbook is one of the state-level projects designed to provide a detailed community-by community picture of the condition of children. A national Data Book with comparable data for the U.S. is produced annually by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
