We are excited to let you know about an additional grant opportunity, but we need for you to act fast!! The deadline for submission of this grant application is June 30, 2021. The grant application will look almost exactly like the one you just completed for the Phase V grant. This grant opportunity is for currently open/operating child care facilities, regardless of whether they are contracted with the Early Learning Coalition, providing early care and education services to Broward’s young children.

Log in to your individual Customer Relationship Management (CRM) page. You will use the same username and password to log in as you did for the Phase V Grant to complete the application.

You will click on “Add New” and select “Summer Booster Grant” once you have done so you will be brought to the application to complete.
While we welcome you to complete the grant application now, we will also be holding a webinar Friday, June 25, at 9:30 am. We will review the entire application and go step by step through the application, so at the end of the webinar we expect most participants to be able to send the completed document right then.

**Please note, if you choose not to join us Friday, the item most child care businesses got wrong on the Phase V grant was the budget. PLEASE complete the budget based on the base grant amount that corresponds to your licensed capacity.
