Early Learning Support Grant (ELSG)

ELSG 2023 Spring-Summer Grant

Bainum Family Foundation and Reinvestment Fund are working to make grant opportunities available to licensed Child Development Homes (CDHs) throughout Washington, D.C. These $5,000 grants are flexible, one-time opportunities for providers to access funding for small-scale facility improvements and refreshes. Facility refreshes should enhance the learning environment and/or the working conditions for students, employees, and the providers.

We currently have funding for every CDH to receive grant funding, so please share this opportunity with colleagues.
