About Child Welfare Wonk

Child Welfare Wonk is a strategic policy intelligence platform delivering critical, data-driven policy insights to the most influential decision-makers in child and family policy.

Our analysis informs the work of policymakers, providers, philanthropies, and advocates across the national, state, and local levels.

We’re more than a newsletter. We’re building the intelligence layer decision-makers need; analysis and projections grounded in historical context, real-time insight, and future-focused strategy.

Our Approach 

We don’t just break down news; we break it open. We use data, policymaking insight, and narrative clarity to surface the story under the story.

We’re rigorously nonpartisan. Subscribers with diametrically opposed politics say the same thing: “this is exactly what I need.”

We don’t tell subscribers what to think. We show them what to think about; what others are missing, what’s coming next, and which policy levers actually move systems.

Our Premium Partnerships

If you enjoy our newsletter, you should know it’s just the flier for what we have to offer.

Behind it is a growing architecture of data, strategic analysts, and decision-ready insight. We help partners write the policy future, not react to it.

Our wide-ranging partners touch all different areas of child and family policy; non-profits, philanthropy, consultancy, and more.
