   Abstract:
   The Birth through Eight Strategy for Tulsa (BEST) is a comprehensive, multicomponent initiative that focuses on child development and family engagement in the early years to help break the cycle of intergenerational poverty. Spearheaded by the George Kaiser Family Foundation (GKFF) in July 2017, BEST works with a wide network of public, non-profit, and philanthropic organizations to achieve four goals over a ten-year period. The purpose of this brief is to document the first year of implementation for BEST and is based on an ongoing implementation study conducted by Child Trends which includes interviews with GKFF staff and stakeholders involved with BEST.
