As part of ECFC’s weekly COVID-19 call series, this call explored early childhood related state and national emergency funds to learn more about how private philanthropy is involved, how funds are prioritizing needs/grants and thinking about immediate needs vs. long-term sustainability, and what lessons we’re learning about the needs of those applying for emergency grants. As part of our discussion we considered the extreme demand for these and other funds, demonstrating that private philanthropy cannot sustain the ECE sector on its own, and how private philanthropy can partner with public funding to ensure a more equitable and sufficient response to needs.
