This week's Update:

For Applications Requiring Receipts

If you applied for Start-up, Expansion, Enhancement, or Business/Technical Assistance, please make sure your receipts are legible before you submit them.

  • Only items from your approved budget will be reimbursed.
  • Do not send original receipts. Double-check your scanned copies to make sure the copy is legible and all content is on the scanned page.
  • Put the application type on your documents so we can quickly attach them to the correct application (e.g. write “Enhancement” on the paperwork).
  • Make sure the date of purchase on your receipt is within the allowable time frame of your application. No purchases prior to August 1, 2021 are allowed.

Technical/Business Assistance.

This funding opportunity is available to subsidy and non-subsidy providers to purchase software and hardware to enhance business operations (e.g. surveillance equipment, subscription for business software programs).

  • Child care programs can apply only once for these funds.
