All children deserve to live happy, healthy and productive lives in a digital age. Children, and those that care for them, deserve access to the latest unbiased data, translated by experts, so that important decisions for children’s health and safety can be made. With data-driven guidance on thriving in an ever-increasing digital space, parents, caregivers, clinicians and researchers can make decisions in the best interest of children and families.

Children not only deserve a voice, but a voice in power, to ensure that policies and technology design are helping and not hurting our children and families. 

Your Impact Could Make the Difference

Gifts from donors like you are vital to providing objective and actionable information to key stakeholders, grounded in the latest scientific and clinical evidence. Your gifts drive interdisciplinary research and collaboration, public education programs and resources, and our non-partisan advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill and within individual states. Importantly, we do not accept funding from technology companies. This allows us to provide unbiased, data-driven research free from the influence of any profit-driven technology organizations, ensuring that we never choose “profit” over children’s health and well-being.
