United Way of Western Connecticut is currently seeking Letters of Intent (LOIs) from agencies interested in applying for funding for education initiatives focused on early childhood care programs for ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families.
Our goal for early childhood care is to fund organizations where a child feels safe, happy and parents feel comfortable that their children are well cared for while they are at work. We hope that the children are having interesting and positive experiences, and that they are learning, both academically and socially.
We seek proposals for Early Childhood Care programs that will:
- Provide affordable, quality child care for children under the age of five who are living in households that fall within the ALICE threshold, AND;
- Measure developmental milestones to ensure children are ready for kindergarten
If you are interested in applying for funding, please submit your LOI online below by January 17, 2020. An invitation to apply for funds will be dependent on proposals presented through LOIs submitted online.
If your agency is selected to apply for funding, you will be contacted the week of January 27, 2020. Funding is anticipated to start no later than July 1, 2020.
