CSC Leon is a catalyst for positive change to improve the lives and outcomes of children and families in the local community. Established as an independent special district by the voters of Leon County in 2020, CSC Leon provides funding through ad valorem taxation to organizations that align with its mission to ensure all children and youth are socially, emotionally, and physically equipped to reach their full potential. At its core, CSC Leon seeks to make funding decisions that are inclusive, data-driven, equitable, collaborative, and innovative. It uses a results-based accountability framework to provide financial and technical support to organizations that increase kindergarten readiness, support school performance and reduce juvenile crime; improve child physical and mental health, and reduce adverse childhood experiences; and provide career pathways for youth, increase food and housing stability, and strengthen parents and caregivers.
