WeVision EarlyEd Alignment Fund
The WeVision EarlyEd Alignment Fund builds off the success of Bainum Family Foundation’s WeVision EarlyEd Labs, by providing flexible grant funding to help multi-site programs better align all sites to the WeVision EarlyEd deliverables.
About the WeVision EarlyEd Alignment Fund
Reinvestment Fund is partnering with Bainum Family Foundation to support WeVision Labs with multiple sites. This fund offers grants to WeVision Labs who have multiple sites. Programs seeking support in aligning non-lab sites are eligible for up to $100k in grant funding. Programs seeking support in expanding their sites are eligible for up to $300k in grant funding.
Tailored Support through Two Grant Options
Program Alignment Fund
This option is for programs who are seeking to align their non-lab site to the WeVision EarlyEd deliverables. Examples of use could be using grants to offer wage increases to staff or offer scholarships to families. Applicants can review the WeVision EarlyEd deliverables here and will craft a budget explaining how grant funds will be sued to align their non-Lab site programs to each deliverable. Each awarded grant will be up to $100k.
Program Alignment and Expansion Fund
This option is for programs who are currently or plan to start an expansion. These expansions can be on-site or a new site. This funding can be used to offset capital costs of expansion or to ensure upon completion the expansion can meet WeVision EarlyEd deliverables. Applicants will be asked to craft a budget that outlines use of funds, additionally applicants will need to share details on the planned or current expansion. After applying, selected programs will need to complete a workplan (see below) to access grants funding up to $300k.
