Who We Are

The First Five Years Fund is committed to improving the lives of at-risk children by leveraging cost-effective investments in early learning. FFYF aims to focus nationwide attention and resources on comprehensive, quality early care and learning programs for children from birth to age five.

The First Five Years Fund seeks to increase the number of policymakers, private foundations and business leaders who believe in the value of supporting young children early, intensively and over time. The goal is to ensure that the interests of at-risk children from birth to age five are included in policy and funding decisions across the country and to attract substantial additional public/private sector investment in the early childhood field.
