NC Early Childhood Foundation

The mission of the North Carolina Early Childhood Foundation (NCECF) is to marshal North Carolina's great people, ideas and achievements to build a foundation of opportunity and success for every child by the end of third grade.

We work to build public will, accelerate what works and ignite action that closes the achievement gap and raises outcomes for all young children.

When each child is given the best opportunity to succeed—to realize their potential and contribute as productive citizens—North Carolina prospers.
