Child CareProviders
Building a More Child-Centered Oregon
Our Mission
We support child care providers by funding projects that preserve, improve, and expand child care facilities.
BuildUp Oregon offers several forms of assistance to qualified child care providers.
Grants
The Preschool for All (PFA) Facilities Fund supports family child care programs and child care centers in Multnomah County. Grants are available for renovation and repair, pre-development, and new center development projects.
The Oregon Housing and Community Service (OHCS) Co-Location Fund supports partnerships between developers and providers to build new early care and education centers co-located with affordable housing across Oregon.
Loans
If project costs exceed available grant funding, BuildUp Oregon offers accessible financing through Craft3. Loan amounts start at $50,000.
Expert Guidance
You will be matched with a Program Officer, who offers one-on-one support. Officers help with project management, business development, regulatory navigation, applications, and more.
