Child Care Business Grants

WomenVenture, in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) is excited to announce a grant opportunity for child care businesses in Minnesota. We invite eligible child care providers to apply for grants of $7,500 to enhance the quality of child care services. 

Request for Proposals (RFP)

  •  The goal of this grant program is to provide financial support to licensed child care providers in Minnesota, particularly in communities where 30% or more of the children are Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). These areas include Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, specific neighborhoods in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota’s 11 Tribal Nations and child care access equity areas as outlined here.
