IN 2023, $275,000 WAS ALLOCATED TO PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS TO PROMOTE ECONOMIC GROWTH THROUGH EXPANDED CHILD CARE OPTIONS AND A QUALIFIED EARLY CHILDHOOD WORKFORCE. THE INITIATIVE FOUNDATION PROVIDED FUNDING TO ASSIST 10 COMMUNITIES IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA IN DEVELOPING STRATEGIC PLANS TO ADDRESS THE SHORTAGE OF CHILD CARE. THESE EFFORTS RESULTED IN THE OPENING OF TWO NEW CHILD CARE CENTERS AND SEVERAL FAMILY CHILD CARE BUSINESSES, CREATING OVER 900 NEW CHILD CARE SLOTS IN THE REGION. FURTHERMORE, OVER 250 CHILD CARE PROGRAMS RECEIVED NO-COST BUSINESS TRAINING, COACHING, AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO IMPROVE THEIR BUSINESS SKILLS. MORE THAN 200 PROFESSIONALS IN CENTRAL MN ALSO RECEIVED SPECIALIZED DEVELOPMENTAL AND SAFETY TRAINING, INCLUDING CPR, FIRST AID, AND CHILD GUIDANCE MENTORING, TO ENHANCE THEIR QUALITY RATING SCORES AND EARNING POTENTIAL.

SINCE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE ARE OFTEN UNREPRESENTED IN TRADITIONAL CONSERVATION GROUPS, WE HAVE PROVIDED A GRANT SO THAT INDIGENOUS PEOPLE HAVE A VOICE IN THE REAUTHORIZATION DISCUSSIONS. A PRIMARY GOAL OF OUR ENGAGEMENT AND ADVOCACY IS CREATING A "COMMUNITY GRANTMAKING POOL" THAT WILL INCLUDE DIVERSE REPRESENTATION TO OVERCOME THE BARRIERS TO ACCESSING THE CURRENT SYSTEM.
