Grant Funding Opportunity: A Partnership with the CCRC
What we fund
Early childhood and preschool programs – We support licensed child care centers and preschools that have a commitment to quality improvement and serving children from diverse populations. We also support the early learning components of community-based programs, such as family literacy.
Our current funding is closed.

Venture for Success Preparatory Learning Center and the Cradle Community Resource Center (CCRC) has partnered to help other early childhood and preschool programs increase quality standards. The founders- Nathaniel and Jacqueline Cradle state: "If not for the many partnerships we formed in our past, we would not have been so successful in reaching our goals within the community we serve." The goal of the foundation is to help other early learning programs reach their quality goals (e.g., early literacy, outcome measures, equipment and coaching).
