Did you hear the news? Applications are now open for a new funding opportunity for businesses, made possible by Future Ready Iowa’s Child Care Business Incentive Grant. This new grant is targeted at supporting child care slots across the state while getting businesses more involved in child care solutions.
If you are currently providing child care and have space to do more - the new Child Care Business Incentive Slots grant might be an opportunity for you! This grant provides incentives to employers who partner with licensed and registered child care professionals to create child care spaces for employees. If interested, you are encouraged to reach out to area businesses to learn more about this opportunity.
Funding can support projects that do the following:
-
Increase licensed or operational child care slots.
-
Add slots to meet new time/day requirements of employees.
-
Fill currently licensed (but unfilled) slots for the benefit of employees.
Applications are due by October 17, 2022 and must be submitted on IowaGrants.gov. This Friday, September 23, Future Ready Iowa is hosting a webinar to talk about the grant. Come join us to get your questions answered and learn more about this incredible opportunity! Please note that businesses, not child care facilities, are the eligible applicants of this opportunity.
Thank you,
Future Ready Iowa
