Take Action: Tell Congress to Fund Our School
On Capitol Hill, members of Congress are busy working on a federal funding package for the next fiscal year (FY 27). This package of funding would run from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 and would determine how much funding will be allocated to federal programs that serve our nation's children, families, and schools.
You can help by taking action today and reminding Congress to prioritize our nation's children, families, and schools! Together, we can ensure that every community has the resources needed to help all children reach their potential and thrive.
