Child Care Grant
The Child Care Grant program provides funding to community organizations that provide licensed child care services and/or professional and program development opportunities in Richmond and advance the City’s child care priorities. Child care grants are funded through the City’s Child Care Reserves. The City’s ability to provide grants is subject to available funding and there may be years when the grant program(s) are not offered.
