Project Title: Little Steps Scholarship Fund for Low-Income Children and Families
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Risen Life Kids Learning Academy (Risen Life Kids) requests funding to provide uninterrupted child care services to low income, BIPOC families who cannot afford quality child care or potty training services. Located in a child care desert in Polk County, Oregon, 98% of the 74 children (ages 6 months to 12 years old) enrolled in our academy receive funding from the Employment Related Daycare Services (ERDC) program, which a family can only qualify for if their income is 185% below the federal poverty level or less. The Little Steps Scholarship Fund was created to address the financial needs of the families we serve who cannot afford registration fees, potty training fees, activity fees or school supplies, or need uninterrupted child care during life events and family emergencies.
\nLaunched last year, this scholarship fund is available to currently enrolled or enrolling families who meet one or more criteria:
\n\u2022\tUnable to afford both child care and other necessities like utilities and food, even after receiving TANF and SNAP benefits.
\n\u2022\tQualify for partial day child care but are unable to utilize it due to transportation barriers or conflicting work hours.
\n\u2022\tReceive partial day child care hours but need full day child care so they can pursue full-time employment.
\n\u2022\tCan\u2019t afford potty training or activity fees, which aren\u2019t covered by the ERDC.
\n\u2022\tCan no longer afford child care during life events\/emergencies, such as the gap between jobs, injury, or illness.
\nProviding quality child care for low-income families will have a ripple effect in the community. By partnering together, children will thrive, families will flourish, and the whole community will be uplifted.<\/p>\n
