Goal: All families shall have the ability to support and care for their children.

Budget Advocacy

ACNJ promotes family economic success through budget advocacy on the state and federal levels. Each year, ACNJ examines the governor’s spending plan to identify the proposed budget’s potential impact on New Jersey’s children and families. Throughout the budget process, we alert our network of thousands of supporters to proposed changes, encouraging them to urge state leaders to invest in children and families. When children and families thrive, our schools, communities and the state as a whole benefits.

Stay tuned for the latest at state level.

The state budget season begins the day the Governor gives the budget address, usually in early March, and ends when the NJ Legislature passes the budget. The deadline to pass the budget is June 30th.
