First Children’s Finance has a New Grant Program!

Posted by Melissa Streich | March 18, 2022

First Children’s Finance is pleased to announce our new Child Care Facility Revitalization Grants program, made possible by funding from the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Facility revitalization grants can used by Minnesota child care centers, family child care providers, certified child care centers, and legal unlicensed providers registered with CCAP to address facility improvements and related equipment.

The grant program will operate for the next two years, with applications accepted every three months between Spring 2022 and Spring 2024.

Grant Purpose
Applicants may apply for a grant to complete facility improvements, minor renovations, and related equipment and services, including assistance to meet licensing requirements to establish, maintain, or expand licensed and legal unlicensed child care sites. Grant funds may not be used for construction or major renovation of facilities.
How to Learn More

An introductory webinar will be held to review the application process and eligible uses on March 24, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. This webinar will be recorded and posted on the FCF website for access and review by potential applicants.

Register in advance for this meeting through Zoom. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
