Fight for Children works to ensure low-income children in Washington, D.C., receive a quality education and have access to affordable health care. The organization recognizes that good health and improved academic performance are positively correlated and strives to meet these goals through three program initiatives: encouraging schools to use the best educational methods, encouraging parents to be active participants in their children’s education, and making grants to local organizations that offer education and health care to low-income children. Fight For Children also awards three District schools $100,000 each as part of its Quality Schools Initiative.
