* We’ve been listening to the community and have heard time and again that one of the most significant barriers for women is the lack of affordable, high-quality childcare.

Reliable childcare is the foundation that makes everything else possible. It allows a mother to go to work, to pursue education, or to simply have the peace of mind that her child is in a safe and nurturing environment. Without it, many women—especially single mothers—are trapped in a cycle of poverty. With it, they can build a career, secure their family’s future, and contribute to our local economy.

Since 2019, we have invested a significant portion of our grant budget into strengthening local childcare because we know it’s one of the most impactful ways we can help. These investments don't just help women; they give our children the best possible start and make our entire community more successful.

*Of course, your support also allows us to continue funding other vital programs that address a wide range of needs for women and girls in our community.

* These grants support innovative programs which promote the physical, intellectual, emotional, social, economic, or cultural growth of women and girls.
