Women and girls have unique ways of solving problems, and the world is in dire need of those strategies right now.

The Building Community Child Care Solutions Fund (BCCCSF) focuses on strategies to increase women’s economic security by decreasing the workforce gap through access to quality, affordable child care. The process operates on a different timeline and structure than IWF’s Core Grants Program, and various stakeholders, partners, and experts in child care in and around Iowa will make decisions regarding awards.
Here is a full list of grantees – Building Community Child Care Solutions Fund recipients and Core Grant recipients.
