All children deserve the opportunity to learn and develop in well-designed learning spaces. We all understand that clean, safe and healthy environments are an important component of successful teaching and learning.
For over 25 years, Children’s Investment Fund has been providing technical expertise and financing to non-profit child care centers planning to improve or expand their facilities. Our primary goal is to increase the supply and quality of child care facilities in Massachusetts. We offer high quality training programs, access to professional consultants and funding to pay for predevelopment expenses, acquisition of property and permanent financing.
We are excited to share with you our website. If you are a non-profit organization, we look forward to helping you turn your vision of high quality space into a reality.

- CEDAC Summer 2019 Newsletter
Summer has just ended but it’s been a fruitful one. As you’ll see in our newsletter, the highlight of the year for affordable housing production and preservation occurred on July 18th with the announcement of funding awards in the annual rental housing funding round to 28 affordable housing projects in Massachusetts. CEDAC has committed early stage financing to nine of the projects that received awards, and we were thrilled to participate in this event that demonstrated the Baker-Polito Administration’s commitment to providing high-quality affordable housing to communities throughout the Commonwealth.
