This large amount of program funding must necessarily be further broken down, of course, into the various programs and program needs that the Children's Defense Fund engages in. Food costs are highly volatile, meaning that accurate projections for the nutritional programs that the Children's Defense Funds are quite difficult to achieve; due to this volatility, approximately three million dollars of the above-mentioned seven-and-a-half should be devoted to purchasing food to ensure that an adequate amount of funding exists throughout the year to maintain these programs. Educational work is also a major area of operations for the Children's Defense Fund, and another one-and-a-half million should go directly towards the purchasing of educational materials, with the remaining four million allocated amongst the various poverty-reducing programs of the organization...
Administrative costs will also necessarily form a major part of the budget for this organization, and though these should be kept to a minimum insofar as possible, they will be unavoidable. The remaining two-and-a-half million dollars of the assumed ten million dollar operating budget will be used to cover administrative costs -- the actual salaries of the individuals working for the Fund as well as office supplies, travel budgets, the cost of transporting goods, and a variety of other costs the organization would incur during operations.
This budget does not leave a lot of room for incidental costs. This is in keeping with the ethics of any non-profit organization, and with the dire needs for successful operations and dollar allocation by the CDF.

Given the evidence that proximity to fast food restaurants and schools can increase students' body mass index (BMI) our fund also supports zoning legislation

It is believed that the First Amendment supports accepting adults, unrestrained by censorship, to search for innovative ways to use new media and
Child Care on Single Parents Over the past several years, more single parents with children, mostly women, have joined the workforce (Ford, 1995). As a result, childcare has become an extremely important social policy issue. Many single parents, particularly those with low incomes, find it difficult to finance the cost of decent childcare. In addition, poor quality of childcare has become an increasingly significant problem in the United States. Low wages
The final step in decrease law enforcement budgets was the cut of 20% federal prison system. As of right now, prisons take up millions of dollars to house drug offenders and other non-violent criminals. These funds are needed elsewhere, and so they must be taken from keeping up the building and regulation of so many unnecessary prisons in the United States.
