EEOST Capital Fund

Children’s Investment Fund (CIF) and the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) are excited to announce the availability of FY25 capital funding through three programs:


For the first two programs listed above, EEC will award small grants between $200,000 – $500,000 to licensed, center-based programs serving low-income children. The funding is intended to support renovations that address health and safety concerns and improve quality.

CIF and EEC are also running a large grant EEOST round with grants between $500,000 and $1 million for non-profit centers only. 

We look forward to receiving your questions and applications!
