Advocates For Ohio's Future

Advocates for Ohio's Future works to maintain vital public services - health, human services, and early care & education - at a level that meets people's basic needs and protects our state's most vulnerable populations. Advocates for Ohio's Future accomplishes its mission by:

• Making sure that our state budget priorities take into account the basic needs of the vulnerable and of those struggling because of the current recession;


• Raising awareness of the value of vital public services and the role they play in the lives of Ohio children and adults;


• Educating Ohioans about the interdependence between human services and economic stability;


• Building district-wide networks of supporters and organizations across the state willing to inform their families, friends, neighbors, the media, and constituencies and to advocate for vital public services; and


• Working to make Ohio's health and human service delivery system more streamlined and coordinated.

To that end, Advocates for Ohio's Future supports a budget solution that provides vulnerable populations.

A nonpartisan coalition, Advocates for Ohio's Future is funded by a combination of foundation and member grants, supporter contributions, and in-kind donations. AOF is particularly grateful to United Way of Greater Cincinnati, The George Gund Foundation, Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks, Ohio AARP, and the Ohio Provider Resource Association for their support this year.
