UCI staff served as participants and leaders in a variety of child related coalitions that have as a goal bringing community groups with similar interests together in order that they might share experiences, gain insight into what others are doing and potentially develop collaborative projects. In 2024, UCI funded numerous not for profits in Shelby County that have a focus on early childhood.
