Our Mission
Advocates for Ohio’s Future promotes health and human service budget and policy solutions so that all Ohioans live better lives.
Advocates for Ohio’s Future began in 2003 as the Emergency Campaign to Protect Ohio’s Future, a coalition of health and human service organizations seeking to protect Ohio’s most vulnerable citizens through a responsible state budget that adequately funded vital services.
Advocates for Ohio’s Future works to accomplish its mission by:
Educating. Raising awareness of how health, human services, and early education make Ohioans more competitive and build strong communities that are attractive to families and businesses.
Collaborating. Building a statewide network of advocates to carry a unified message to influence the public, elected officials, and ultimately, budget and policy priorities.
Advocating. Advancing budget and public policy priorities that promote economic security and meet essential human needs, so all Ohioans can live better lives.
A nonpartisan coalition, Advocates for Ohio’s Future is funded by a combination of foundation and member grants, supporter contributions, and in-kind donations. If you would like to support the work of Advocates for Ohio’s Future:
