The Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF) is a charitable foundation focused on improving the well-being of American children and youth.

The AECF is one of the dominant organizations in child welfare and juvenile justice in the U.S., and one of the most influential "watchdogs" for child well-being, as they collect and publish most of the data on children in poverty in the U.S. annually, through its Kids Count Data Book.
