Our Impact

WACF is the unified voice for child- and family-serving agencies across Washington State. Through strategic advocacy, inclusive leadership, and collaborative problem solving, we:

• Protect and uplift families by advancing policies that prioritize safety, stability, and dignity

• Guide systemic change through data-informed solutions and cross-sector partnerships

• Empower providers and communities with tools, training, and support to deliver high-quality care

• Amplify unheard voices ensuring families, youth, and caregivers are represented in decision-making

• Foster innovation, equity, and sustainability across the continuum of care helping agencies remain resilient, responsive, and rooted in best practices

• Advocate for sustainable funding to ensure agencies have the resources they need to thrive—not just survive

• Champion family preservation by promoting practices and policies that keep children safely connected to their families whenever possible

 Together, we’re shaping a future where every child and family has the opportunity to thrive and where the organizations that serve them are equipped to do so for generations to come.
