The Oakland Fund for Children and Youth was established in November 1996, when Oakland’s voters passed the Kids First! Initiative, amending the City Charter to set aside funds to support direct services to youth under 21 years of age for a twelve-year period.

Oakland voters reauthorized the Kids First! Initiative in 2009 for a second twelve-year period, and requiring a Three-Year Strategic Investment Plan to guide the allocation of funds.
