The Partnership for Children of Cumberland County is the nonprofit organization charged with implementing North Carolina's Smart Start and More-at-Four school-readiness programs for children from birth through age five. This organization has a successful record of improving the quality of child care, parenting resources, access to health care, and other support systems for Cumberland County's children. 

Economic development experts say that a world-class education system will attract businesses to our state. First-class early childhood support is part of that system and it contributes to the quality of life for our community.

Studies have shown that all, and especially low-income, children who participate in model child intervention programs are more likely to attend college and be in a high-skilled job or higher education at age 21.  The Partnership promotes and funds these types of programs.

We invite you to join in support to advance the education, health, and well-being of Cumberland County's future - its 25,300 young children. We are mandated by North Carolina to attract at least ten percent of our annual budget from private sources and grants.  The Partnership for Children is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and your contributions are tax-deductible.
