In this Kids’ Share brief, we examine how the Trump administration’s proposed 2021 budget would affect spending on children. Children’s programs subject to annual funding decisions, including education and early care and education, would be sharply reduced. Mandatory programs and tax credits for children for the most part would be largely protected, following a pattern seen throughout the budget.
