Welcome

Every child deserves the chance to learn and grow in well-designed learning environments. Clean, safe, and healthy spaces are essential for effective teaching and learning.

For over 35 years, the Children’s Investment Fund has provided technical expertise and financing to non-profit child care centers looking to improve or expand their facilities. If you are a non-profit organization, we look forward to helping you turn your vision of high-quality spaces into reality.”
