Our Members
Raising Illinois stakeholders have a shared commitment to our mission—to address the root causes of disparities and create an equitable and cohesive early childhood development system of supports for expecting families, infants and toddlers and the communities in which they live. Our coalition is a diverse partnership of individuals and organizations, from both the public and private sectors, working together to advance meaningful and lasting changes for prenatal-to-three programs and policies. We believe all of Illinois thrives when its youngest children thrive.
