OUR HISTORY

More than twenty years ago, the citizens of Hillsborough County agreed to invest a portion of their tax dollars to help children realize their dreams. They voted to create the Children's Board of Hillsborough County, which has served as the leading voice and advocate for children and families across the community. Today, the Children's Board invests in more than 100 programs that touch over 100,000 citizens every year.

WHY INVESTING IN OUR CHILDREN MATTERS

Investing early in children and families isn't just the right thing to do; it's the smart thing to do. In the past five years, the board has invested $35 million taxpayer dollars to generate $155 million new dollars into Hillsborough County - that's a return on investment of over $4 for every new dollar directly benefiting children and families. This has helped us reduce crime and teen pregnancies and improve financial self-sufficiency and overall economic prosperity.

WHO BENEFITS?

Taxpayers - realize a return on investment first-hand through self sufficient and successful families and safer schools and neighborhoods.
