"I Am Trying To Find Grant Funding For My Daycare"

"I am a new daycare and I am trying to find grants to help me and my partners improve our daycare center. We currently are looking for grants that will help us purchase toys and play equipment for our children. Can you help us?

Thank you for your help."

As I have mentioned many times before there are many grant programs available for daycare centers, both non-profit and for-profit.

I suggest that you take a look at both my blog at

http://grantbasics101.blogspot.com/

and my daycare-related grants page at:

http://grantbasics101.bravehost.com/daycare.htm

One of my most recent daycare-related clients received over 10 pages of information from me about available grant programs for their for-profit daycare!

If you knew the number of grant programs that your daycare could possibly be eligible for it would really astound and amaze you!

Christian Daycare Center Ready To Proceed With A New Building Facility!

Chosen from only 3 applications that were submitted, a christian day care center has received approval from their local city council to start a new daycare facility! The daycare is ready, able and willing to build the facility and purchase the land all because they have grants and they are ready to go! With the help of grants and a loan, the daycare plans to spend $2.1 million to get the facility built and operating. That includes $305,000 paid to their local government to purchase the city-owned lot.

Another daycare facility applicant (that wasn't approved) wanted the city to carry the loan costs and lease the property too them and the city council felt that that wasn't a viable solution.

The city also has a grant program relating to 1-acre lots and another grant program for equipment purchases.

There was concern that there could be a church-state conflict caused by the city doing business with a Christian-centered operation. But the city's attorney said that there is not a problem because the daycare is open to all children, regardless of their family’s religious affiliation.
