- To facilitate a collaborative information-sharing and problem-solving national network among subgrantees, the Children's Bureau, public child welfare agencies, private service providers, the courts and legal systems, and other stakeholders.
The Children's Bureau funded American Humane Association and its partners the American Bar Association Center on Children and the Law and the National Fatherhood Initiative to create the Quality Improvement Center on Non-Resident Fathers.
