Grant Opportunity: Rosies For All Kids Foundation

Rosie's For All Kids Foundation is offering early childhood care and education grants to support direct-service organizations throughout the United States. First priority is given to experienced, community-based programs serving children in low-income, major urban areas, where many families struggle to find affordable, high-quality early education and care.  Grants focus on tuition subsidies, small renovations, equipment upgrades, playground construction, and staff development opportunities.
