From 2022 to 2024, Children’s Funding Project collaborated with The Children’s Cabinet to conduct a full strategic public finance plan and analysis of Nevada’s early childhood system. A funding gap analysis takes what we know about how much it will cost to implement programs and services and subtracts it from what we know about how much we are currently spending on those programs and services. Its efficacy and impact rely on being shaped around clear and measurable implementation scenarios. With accurate and timely information about what is currently being spent on programs related to the implementation scenario(s) and how much it will cost to implement or scale those programs, gap analysis is a solution for understanding not only the true cost of our implementation goals, but also the impact of current investments related to those goals.
