School Districts and Community-Based Centers Grant Opportunity

Rural Child Care Program: School Districts and Community-Based Centers Grant Opportunity Application Open Now; Closes July 30, 2024

Access to high-quality, safe, and consistent child care is a key element of thriving rural communities. The Patterson Family Foundation is thrilled to introduce a grant program to help public school districts and nonprofit community-based child care centers enhance their child care capacity.

The Rural Child Care Program: School Districts and Community-Based Centers grant funds can be used to support short-term operational needs, training and certification needs, and/or minor capital needs aimed at expanding or enhancing child care access. Applying school districts and nonprofit community-based child care centers must be licensed and located in the Foundation’s philanthropic catchment.
