Supporting underprivileged children is essential for building a more just and compassionate world. These children often face barriers to education, healthcare, and basic necessities, limiting their potential. By providing access to resources, mentorship, and opportunities, we empower them to break the cycle of poverty and create a better future for themselves and their communities. Every act of support—whether through education, nourishment, or emotional encouragement—helps unlock their talents and dreams, fostering a society where every child has a fair chance to thrive.

ARTICLE FROM THE CENTER ON POVERTY & SOCIAL POLICY AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY:

What Could 2023 Child Poverty Rates Have Looked Like Had an Expanded Child Tax Credit Still Been in Place?

In September 2024, the Census Bureau released data on poverty in 2023. In 2021, the child poverty rate fell to a historic low of 5.2%, due in part to the substantial—but temporary—expansions to the federal Child Tax Credit under the 2021 American Rescue Plan. In 2022, the child poverty rate more than doubled, rising from 5.2% to 12.4%—the largest year-over-year increase on record. The latest Census Bureau data shows that the child poverty rate rose further in 2023, to 13.7%. The sharp and sustained increase in child poverty since 2021 has bolstered calls to permanently expand the Child Tax Credit in a similar way to 2021. This raises the question: what could child poverty rates in 2023 have been if an expanded Child Tax Credit had been in place? To answer this question, we model one example of a proposed expansion, the 2023 American Family Act (H.R. 3899), in the 2023 data.

KEY FINDINGS:

- From 2022 to 2023, the SPM child poverty rate rose from 12.4% to 13.7%, remaining significantly higher than the 2021 historic low of 5.2%. Approximately 6.2 million more children were living below the poverty line in 2023 than in 2021.

- Under current policy, the Child Tax Credit reduced child poverty by 17.1% (from a child poverty rate of 16.5% without any Child Tax Credit to 13.7%). It kept 2 million children from poverty in 2023.

- Had an expanded Child Tax Credit—such as the 2023 American Family Act—been in effect in 2023, the child poverty rate could have instead been 8.6%.

- On its own, the 2023 American Family Act Child Tax Credit could have reduced child poverty by 47.8%, and kept a total of 5.6 million children from poverty.

- Compared to current policy, the 2023 American Family Act could have reduced child poverty by 37.1% and kept an additional 3.6 million children out of poverty in 2023. The expanded credit’s effect on poverty remains substantial under an array of potential employment responses.

ALARMING STATISTICS ON CHILD POVERTY:

Child poverty remains a critical global issue, with recent data highlighting several alarming trends:

- Over 1 Billion Children in Multidimensional Poverty: Approximately 1 billion children worldwide experience multidimensional poverty, lacking essentials such as food, water, shelter, education, and healthcare.

- 333 Million Children in Extreme Poverty: As of 2022, an estimated 333 million children live on less than $2.15 per day, the international threshold for extreme poverty.

- 1.43 Billion Children Below $6.85 per Day: In 2022, approximately 1.43 billion children were living on less than $6.85 per day, indicating widespread economic hardship beyond extreme poverty levels.

- Children Disproportionately Affected: Children are more than twice as likely as adults to live in extreme poverty, comprising over half of those in such conditions despite representing only 31% of the global population.

- Impact of COVID-19: The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated child poverty, with the number of children in multidimensional poverty rising to approximately 1.2 billion.

- High Child Poverty Rates in OECD Countries: Among OECD countries, Costa Rica reported the highest child poverty rate at 28.5% in 2022, underscoring that child poverty is a concern even in higher-income nations.

- Lack of Social Protection: Globally, 1.4 billion children under the age of 15 lack any form of social protection, leaving them vulnerable to disease, poor nutrition, and continued poverty.

- Children in Conflict Zones: Over 1 billion people live in acute poverty, with more than half being children. Nearly 40% of these individuals reside in conflict-torn and fragile countries, highlighting the compounded risks faced by children in these regions.

These statistics underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions to address child poverty globally, focusing on both immediate relief and long-term solutions to break the cycle of poverty affecting millions of children.

WHAT ARE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS?

Tax-deductible donations are contributions of money or goods made to a qualified tax-exempt organization, such as a charity. As long as you do not receive a direct benefit in return for your donation, you may be eligible to claim it as a tax deduction.

‍What’s the Benefit?

Simply put, tax-deductible donations can lower your taxable income, which may reduce the amount of taxes you owe. By supporting a charity, you’re not only helping a worthy cause but potentially saving money on your tax bill.

‍How Does It Work?

1. You donate to a qualified charity or organization.

2. After your donation, the charity provides you with a receipt.

3. Using this receipt, you can either:

Deduct the charitable contribution as an itemized deduction on Schedule A, Form 1040.
Take the standard deduction (if you don’t itemize deductions).
Both of these options can reduce your taxable income and, therefore, your tax liability.

LETS HELP HIM CELEBRATE THIS CHRISTMAS:

This Christmas, your donation can be the miracle a child desperately needs—a warm meal, a safe place to sleep, or a small gift that sparks joy in their heart. For many children, the holidays are a stark reminder of what they lack, but your generosity can bring light to their world. By giving, you’re not just providing essentials; you’re giving them hope, love, and the belief that someone cares. This season, be the reason a child smiles.
